I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. Because of frost heaving and the insidious penetration of water and ice in our hot-then-cold climate, road conditions are often horrible. Our potholes are legendary. Current paving recipes clearly don’t cut it. But combining graphene with asphalt mix? Brilliant!

Reading about this new discovery made me think, “Why didn’t this occur to anyone sooner?” Maybe it did but raising the capital for a test took some time. Budgeting enough money to repave our roads this way, well … maybe my grandkids will get to enjoy it. https://www.popsci.com/technology/potholes-asphalt-graphene/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
