Another innovation in building materials - BlingCrete.
The material, also known as light-reflecting concrete, combines the positive characteristics of concrete (fire safety, solidity, building methods) with those of retroreflection. Retroreflecting surfaces send incoming rays of light (sunlight or artificial light) back precisely in the direction of the source. This optical phenomenon is produced by embedding glass microspheres in the substrate material. Crucial for the reflective power are the roundness, clarity, and refractive index of the beads, as well as the bond between the glass microspheres and the substrate.
Their latest innovation is DysCrete, in which dye sensitized solar cells have been mixed with concrete and by varying the combination, the wavelength of light emitted can be changed. Now the building can be powered and be used to store energy through this concrete. Its not expensive so adoption may be rapid.

The greatest part was hearing that it's not expensive. This is truly great news. I don't know if this can reduce the heat inside of the building as a side effect by reflecting light. It surely won't be as effective as a solar panel. But every bit counts.
Hi @karamyog,
Thanks for yet another hunt. I’ve reviewed and approved it. The hunt is on.
Keep an eye on the ratio own commentary vs quoted content though. The posting guidelines mention “some words”. I will not continue to approve consistently wrong ratios.

Thank you @fknmayhem!
This is an amazing piece of work. Great kudos to the team that put this together. Alternative energy sources is the next big thing.
And I also believe that this will do well in the market.
Great Hunt.
