Large quantities of carbon dioxide are released during the production of building materials. With a new process, they could ...

but can stand in for sand or gravel in cement, and also forms a foundational powder for other building materials like plaster and paint. Intriguingly, the researchers found the material could be ...

These materials could be used in concrete as a substitute for sand and/or gravel — a crucial ingredient that accounts for 60-70 percent of this ubiquitous building material. Or they could be used to ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a groundbreaking way to make concrete and cement more eco-friendly. By using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO2), they have created a ...
