Hello people!!!
I just hit publish for my first ever article on Medium.
It's about Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP). Basically, these microbes trigger a reaction that produces calcium carbonate, kind of like how shells and coral form. The result? Cement that’s alive (sort of), and way more sustainable.
So, if you have a minute please check it out, and I'd love to know what you guys think about it.
Also any kind of citicism is always welcome and I'd work on it.
A Big PreThanks from my side!!!

With the rise of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), scientists are exploring how bacteria like Sporosarcina pasteurii could “grow” self-healing cement and sustainable building materials. Could this be the future of green construction? What are the possibilities if buildings could self-repair or grow in place on Mars or disaster zones? How might this disrupt the traditional construction industry, and what ethical or safety concerns could emerge when biology meets architecture?
Can you imagine… a glorious new building grown from a miraculous new “living” material by bacteria, and it ends up smelling like a dirty butt?
