Illustration of Indented tobermorite, a natural analog to the calcium-silicate-hydrate mix in cement, responds differently than bulk tobermorite, depending on the size of the indentation and the force. Layers that bond through indentation remain that way after the force is removed, according to Rice University engineers. (Illustration by Lei Ren/Rice University)
Here’s a tip: Indented cement shows unique properties
