Four Egyptian students created an innovative glow-in-the-dark concrete that can be used to light up highways and roads, as the world faces a growing energy crisis.
Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar awarded the ministry shield to four undergraduate students in the Department of Construction Engineering who have developed self-luminous concrete to light up roadways and pavements at night without using conventional energy sources.
Four undergraduate students in the Department of Construction Engineering have developed self-luminous concrete to light up roadways and pavements without using conventional energy sources.
Four undergraduate construction engineering students at The American University in Cairo (AUC) developed self-luminous concrete, which can absorb sunlight and emit light after dark. With sustainability in mind, the students embarked on their thesis graduation project to save energy by using concrete to light up roadways and pavements without much need for conventional energy-intensive sources.
