Producing cement takes a big toll on our climate: Around eight per cent of annual global carbon dioxide emissions can be attributed to this process. However, the demand for cement con... Read more
ETH material scientists have developed a new method of manufacturing ceramics that does not require the starting materials to be fired. Instead, they are compacted under high pressure at roo... Read more
Analysis of material’s molecular structure leads to a new formula that could cut greenhouse-gas emissions Concrete is the world’s most-used construction material, and a leading contrib... Read more
New research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that cement made with waste ash from sugar production is stronger than ordinary cement. The research shows that the ash helps to bind water i... Read more
Researchers at the University of Alicante have developed a cementitious material incorporating carbon nanofibers in its composition, turning cement into an excellent conductor of electricity... Read more
The innovative feature of this new (vertical multilayer) concrete is that it acts as a natural biological support for the growth and development of certain biological organisms, to be specif... Read more
Every year several millions of tons of building rubble are produced. An efficient way of recycling concrete – the building material of the 20th and 21st century – does not yet exist. Researc... Read more
CCT’s non-shrinking flowable fill is outperforming every product on the market The innovative cement experts at Cellular Concrete Technologies (CCT) are once again creating grou... Read more
Concrete seems pretty inoffensive. It just looks like mud, and appears to do nothing except sit there and harden. The fact is, though, concrete is the world’s third-largest sour... Read more
A Temple University researcher has developed a cement-like substance that could help with stormwater management while potentially keeping millions of plastic bottles out of landfills. Naji K... Read more
