The new brick can be manufactured with a high density, compressive strength, tensile strength and Young's modulus (the ability to withstand changes under lengthwise compression). Researchers led by a ...

What if we could use renewable concrete bricks to build new structures? It might not seem like it, but construction is one of the biggest drivers for greenhouse gases, which can cause global ...

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 ...
