flag Researchers at Northwestern University propose "electrified marine cement" for coastal erosion mitigation.

flag Researchers at Northwestern University propose a novel solution to coastal erosion: electrified marine sand. flag By applying a mild electrical current of 2-3 volts to sand submerged in seawater, they found that dissolved minerals harden, acting like an adhesive. flag This "electrified marine cement" is stronger and cheaper than traditional erosion mitigation techniques and has minimal environmental impact, offering a sustainable alternative for strengthening global coastlines.
