The production of concrete is a massive source of planet-warming carbon dioxide, accounting for 8% of global annual pollution. Climate startup develops technology that could disrupt the concrete ...

What makes this carbon-capturing concrete alternative particularly promising is its versatility. It can be a substitute for traditional sand and gravel in cement production, reducing the demand ...

In 2004, British scientists achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the creation of Graphene—a form of nanocarbon that's an ...

MIT engineers developed the new energy storage technology—a new type of concrete—based on two ancient materials: cement, which has been used for thousands of years, and carbon black, a black ...

CarbonBuilt’s technology, developed by researchers at UCLA, is said to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by more than 50 percent, by taking CO2 emissions directly from coal-fired power ...

At South Ural State University, researchers have found a way to increase the service life and strength of concrete. The research can advance construction in the Arctic, Siberia and the Far East, areas ...

Researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University in Australia have developed a new method for creating concrete comprised entirely of recycled rubber from discarded ...

The value added to the industry is so apparent to the people who would be using this technology on a day-to-day basis,” Lu said. Luna Lu, at left, and students in her lab made the discoveries and ...

Traditional concrete is so last century. A team of engineers has created a concrete that is strong but flexible, can generate electricity and have its qualities fine-tuned for tailor-made builds.

In the business of concrete making, what's old -- even ancient -- is new again. Almost 1,900 years ago, the Romans built what continues to be the world's largest unreinforced solid concrete dome ...
