Concrete is one of the most common materials on Earth, thanks to its high strength and low cost – but it’s also one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Concrete is not glamorous. It is the workhorse of building materials: versatile, durable, and almost universally ubiquitous, with 30 billion tons of concrete produced every year ...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have developed a new CO2-absorbing material that’s a low-cost alternative to concrete. Cement production is one of the largest contributors to climate ...

The concrete of this building has been absorbing CO 2 for a long time and is now being demolished while retaining the gas. This research provides vital knowledge to offset CO 2 emissions from cement ...

A long-handled bull float smooths and levels concrete immediately after it has been screeded. For a good finish, professionals warn not to overwork concrete. Photos: Portland Cement Association ...

Engineers have created a 'supercapacitor' made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), ...

Concrete structures in Japan capture and store about 14% of the CO2 emissions released during cement production, according to a new study. Their findings provide crucial insights for offsetting CO2 ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered that Japan's concrete structures—including buildings and infrastructure—absorb and store about 14% of the carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions generated during ...
