Scientists created a “living” building material infused with bacteria that captures CO₂, strengthens itself, and may repair cracks over time. Early tests are promising, but scaling it for real-world construction and long-term durability remains a challenge.

If anybody on here is even pondering voting for Stephen A. Smith to be president, let's set up a boxing match I can knock some sense into you legally
Stephen A. Smith: "We wouldn’t have a border crisis under my watch."
"We ain’t defunding any police… There’s gonna be more."
