What can concrete made during the Roman Empire help modern engineering develop more efficient concrete? This is what a recent study published in iScience hopes to address as an international team of ...

Scientists have long pondered the durability of ancient Roman concrete structures, which have not only stood the test of time but have held up under extreme conditions, assuming it came down to a ...

Imagine concrete that not only survives wildfires and extreme weather, but heals itself and absorbs carbon from the air. Scientists at USC have created an AI model called Allegro-FM that simulates ...

Nearly two millennia after the height of the Roman Empire, some of its structures are still standing. These marvels have stood the test of time, including the Pantheon in Rome; the Roman aqueducts in ...

Concrete is everywhere, but did we actually forget how to make it last? The Romans built structures that have stood for over 2,000 years, while modern concrete crumbles in decades. The secret lies in ...

Ancient Rome was full of master builders and engineers. The fruits of their labors can still be seen in the aqueducts they built—which still function to this day—as well as the Pantheon, a nearly ...
