Biocement For Ecological Restoration
Hoover has led significant R&D on casting processes for creating biocement, a low-carbon cement-like material made in collaboration with bacteria. With students at MICA, they have developed processes for increasing the strength of this material, with samples capable of holding multiple tons and with compression strength test results approaching building standards for concrete. They have…
