Not exactly new, but I have just came across this, Concrete Cloth, via Think Defence. It is basically canvas infused with cement. The material is stored and transported conveniently in rolls. When needed, it is simply unrolled, cut, nailed or stapled into shape, and sprayed with water. The concrete hardens to 80 percent strength in twenty-four hours.
The material is particularly very useful when you want to build and reinforce very quickly, like in emergency or disaster situations. The video above shows in passing Concrete Cloth used to reinforce a slope. There are also shelters that can be put up by just two people in one hour.
Of course, given the source I got it from, the flexibility of Concrete Cloth opens up some interesting military applications too.
