The building material that mainly constitute our building structures is concrete. But now you a Japanese research team has developed something better than that. It is called the CO2 Structure and is discovery of a Japanese company TIS&Partners. CO2 structure is 2.5 times stronger than concrete and gets dried 30 times faster than that. Concrete can take about 28 days to dry whereas when it comes to CO2 structure it does the same in one day. The main concept behind this is to introduce CO2 to Silicon, which gets converted into a solid material as hard as a brick and that too within seconds.
Commercialization of this material could solve many problems related to structure damage during earthquake or any other natural calamity. Using this material in structure development could lessen the chances of any loss due to anything as such and will have a long life. For example the damage that Japan faced due to Tsunami could have been avoided if this kind of material would have been in use. With the help of this material, building structures will become fast and provide us with more powerful outcome than the concrete.
