Scientist creates light emitting cement to save electricity, nature
Jose Carlos Rubio of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo in Mexico came up with a gel based cement after nine years of research as finding that nothing similar existed in the world.
He was quoted by the Investigacion y Desarrollo as saying, "Nine years ago I started the project I realized that there was nothing like it in the world and then started working on it.The problem is that cement is an opaque body that does not allow the passage of light to the interior."
Explaining the opaque nature of cement, the inventor said that decided to change the structure of the substance as the previous one was more like an effervescent tablet.
"At that moment I start to form a 'gel', similar to that used for hair, but much more sturdy; flakes or crystals that are unwanted byproducts in the hardened cement."
The cement can be used to build roads and buildings and can last decades.
