  • There are methods for using sand as a construction material.
    • You have to use alternating layers of membrane.
      • Even paper works, apparently!
    • Kind of reminds me of reinforced concrete.
      • Or corrugated cardboard.
    • By combining inputs that are strong in one dimension but weak in another just right, you get a super-material significantly better than the inputs.
