"Part of the reason MIT is so awesome," Jonathan
Seelig just wrote in a tweet, is that "we just voted for a team
with a founder with a PhD in concrete as the winner" of the MIT $100K business
plan competition.That winning idea would
be Rouzbeh Shahsavari's
C-Crete, which is working on a new kind of nano-engineered concrete
that's stronger, more durable, and easier on the environment than
traditional concrete.
