Researchers have discovered how to make concrete from recycled glass - by turning it back into sand. A team from Australia were able to turn the waste into a replacement for industrial flooring - ...

Given its status as the most widely-used manufactured material on Earth, reducing the huge environmental footprint of concrete would have significant consequences for the health of the planet.

The globe may be running out of sand suitable for concrete. Researchers are therefore testing a possible solution for using desert sand as a material. The world's most important building material ...

This prompted the researchers to test whether desert sand could be repurposed using a manufacturing approach that does not rely on conventional cement binding. During a series of trials, the ...
