KNUST turns to quantum computing to crack Ghana’s building code barrier

The termite knows something Ghana's building code does not. For centuries, the insect has been engineering with the country's laterite-rich clay, structures so precise and durable they survive the harshest tropical seasons. Scientists at KNUST's TCC-CIMET research centre are deploying quantum computing methods to validate Ghana's laterite-clay and agricultural fibre composites for use in certified construction; a development that could open the country's building code to locally  sourced, lo...
