$25M from Kuwait to develop next-generation concretes (ultralight, ultradense, radiation-shielding for nuclear).

Professor Oral Büyüköztürk over there has a $25 million program from Kuwait to design the next type of concrete structures. Just like they can tailor concrete to make it ultra light, they can make it dense, they can fill it up with things so it has radiation shielding for certain types of nuclear reactors and things like that. You can specialize concrete in ways that most of us don't think about.
