• Disposable masks could be used to improve concrete
  

  With the pervasive single-use masks during the pandemic now presenting an environmental problem, researchers have demonstrated the idea of incorporating old masks into a cement mixture to create stronger, more durable concrete.  In a paper published in the journal, Materials Letters, a Washington St more

• Long-term carbon dioxide emissions from cement production can be drastically reduced
  

  Global warming and affordable housing are two dominant topics of public debate. Climate protection is achieved by reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂). Housing is generated through more housing being built. This requires concrete, the most important building material in our more

• World first concept for rechargeable cement-based batteries
  

  Thanks to unique research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, such a vision could someday be a reality. Researchers from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering recently published an article outlining a new concept for rechargeable batteries - made of cement. The ever-growin more
