The process of making 30 billion tons of concrete every year produces more carbon pollution than all the world's ships and ...
Cement manufacturing and repair could be significantly improved by using biocement-producing bacteria, but growing the microbes at construction sites remains a challenge. Now, researchers report a ...
A team of scientists from Newcastle and Northumbria universities, led by architecture academic Dr Martyn Dade-Robertson, are investigating how they can create a new kind of material – biocement – ...
Can a fairly new material be used in the same way as the conventional ones we have been building with for centuries? Would it be a viable option to replace, say, concrete, with an environmentally ...
Traditional cement production accounts for 8 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, but the world isn’t exactly going to stop using concrete anytime soon. What’s the solution? A greener ...
Such is not the case with a new biocement, however, which also incorporates waste materials. Developed at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, the biocement is made of two main substances – ...
