Scientists in Germany have successfully turned urine into bio-concrete, as part of a project aiming to revolutionize sustainable construction by creating building materials from waste. The research ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have used microbial processes to produce environmentally friendly bio-concrete from urine as part of a “wastewater-bio-concrete-fertilizer” value chain. With ...

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a method of creating biogenic construction materials based on cyanobacteria. The bacteria multiply in a nutrient solution, driven by photosynthesis. When ...

Concrete is one of the quiet foundations of modern life, yet it is also one of the dirtiest materials humanity produces. A new generation of bio-concrete aims to flip that script, using living ...

Nanosilver-modified concrete enhances flood resilience, combining antimicrobial properties with bio-based plasticizers for ...

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prometheus Materials, a leader in sustainable building materials, has achieved foundational certifications ASTM C129 for nonloadbearing CMUs and ASTM C90 for ...

We're standing at a crossroads where every ton of cement we pour matters more than ever. 56 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2023. That's not a typo. Here's where things get ...

Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...

Reducing the carbon footprint of concrete and cement by relying on biology. Concrete is the most important building material on Earth – and it’s also responsible for a MASSIVE chunk of global carbon ...

Cement production accounts for 8 percent of annual CO2 emissions and consumes 9 percent of annual industrial water on a global basis, making reducing cement’s impact on climate change a huge challenge ...
