Self-healing concrete is like magic concrete that can fix itself when it gets cracks. It has tiny capsules filled with special stuff that can mend the cracks automatically. These capsules only break open and release the healing stuff when there's a crack and the conditions are right, like when there's moisture or a change in pH. This helps the concrete stay strong and last longer because it can fix itself without needing humans to do anything.
