Durable concrete uses graphene particles to fend off water and cracks

As scientists work to shore up the strength and durability of concrete, it mightn't come as a huge surprise that the wonder material graphene is proving to be a promising additive. As the world's strongest artificial material, it may have a lot to offer the world of construction, and the latest example of this comes from Northwestern University researchers, who have developed a novel form of graphene-infused cement that is highly resistant to water and cracks.
