Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.

Scientists at the University of Manchester in the UK have developed a new potato-based concrete called StarCrete, which they say could be used to build structures on Mars. The new material utilizes a ...

3D-printed concrete structures are claimed to be faster and cheaper to build than their traditional counterparts, but they're not always as strong. That problem may soon be solved by adding a pinch of ...

Kamal Khayat, seen here with a 3D printer in Missouri S&T University’s Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory, leads a team that won a $1.4-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

As the backbone of modern infrastructure, concrete forms the very foundation of structures ranging from towering skyscrapers and expansive bridges to residential homes and public walkways. Because of ...

Abu Dhabi University (ADU) has inaugurated its ‘3D concrete printed instrumented research chamber,’ a unique, ...

Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are looking to nature for solutions to one of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) ongoing challenges: fortifying aging concrete structures.

In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...

Neglect a modern concrete structure for a few decades and it’ll start to fall apart – and yet, structures built by the ancient Romans are still standing strong after 2,000 years. Now, engineers have ...

Concrete is an incredibly useful and versatile building material on which not only today’s societies, but also the ancient Roman Empire was built. To this day Roman concrete structures can be found in ...
