A new study found that graphene derived from metallurgical coke, a coal-based product, through flash Joule heating could serve not only as a reinforcing additive in cement but also as a replacement ...

Researchers have turned concrete from a demolished school building and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air into new blocks strong enough to build a house with. The process involved grinding the old ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Researchers from the University at Buffalo’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are part of a new research center that is working to create more durable and longer-lasting ...

You walk on concrete every day without thinking about it. That sidewalk, your driveway, the foundation of every building around you; it's all made from essentially the same recipe. Funnily enough, ...

Roman concrete has shrugged off two millennia of earthquakes, wars, and weather that would pulverize most modern structures in a fraction of the time. The surprising reason is not mystical at all, but ...
