Ancient Romans built structures that have survived for nearly 2,000 years. But what made their concrete so durable?
Scientists discovered that tiny white specks, called lime clasts, could help certain Roman concrete mixtures repair small cracks when water entered.
This remarkable ancient engineering technique is now inspiring modern research into longer-lasting concrete.
