Cracks and potholes have plagued our roadways for years, but they may become a thing of the past because of University scientists who have created concrete that bends. Dr.. Victor Li, civil ...

Scientists have created not just a new bendable concrete, but the concrete itself is cement-free which reduces its environmental footprint -- good all round stuff right here, folks. Researchers out of ...

Researchers are examining carbon emissions from using concrete in construction and its resulting effects on the environment. Engineers are developing concrete infused with carbon dioxide to make it ...

Bendable displays may be all the rage these days, but there’s another material that could benefit from some added flexibility: concrete. Researchers at the Swinburne University of Technology have been ...

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The use of concrete is firmly cemented in human history with structural uses going back to ancient times. A research team is taking that ancient material into the future by ...

Spring construction season is underway, and many tons of concrete will be used in the coming months. Unfortunately, concrete is a brittle material: Placed under stress, it cannot bend very far before ...

Lots of people probably think that cement and concrete are the same thing. Cement is a component in concrete that some researchers are trying to eliminate. Researchers from the Swinburne University of ...

Scientists at the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne have developed a new process that could one day allow bendable concrete to go mainstream. It could also lower the carbon footprint ...
