The world may be running out of sand suitable for concrete. Researchers are therefore testing a possible solution for using ...

Given its status as the most widely-used manufactured material on Earth, reducing the huge environmental footprint of concrete would have significant consequences for the health of the planet.

Concrete is a very popular building material, enough so that one of its key ingredients – sand – is in increasingly short supply. Scientists are thus now exploring the possibility of replacing that ...

Researchers have discovered how to make concrete from recycled glass - by turning it back into sand. A team from Australia were able to turn the waste into a replacement for industrial flooring - ...

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 ...

The world’s reliance on concrete, the second most consumed material after water, is leading to an environmental and resource crisis, with sand mining rates outstripping natural replenishment. “This ...

Environmentally friendly 'living concrete' has been developed by scientists mixing sand, gel and bacteria to create a building material as strong as cement. The new material contains a form of ...

A new technique promises to put wasted glass to good use, by turning it into concrete that can be used in industrial flooring and for building roads and car parks. Researchers in Australia turned ...
