Researchers have developed a new carbon-negative building material that could reshape approaches to sustainable construction.
US researchers have developed Enzymatic Structural Material (ESM), a carbon-negative alternative to concrete that ...
Concrete already builds our world, and an MIT-invented variant known as electron-­conducting carbon concrete (ec 3, ...
Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...
Typically, when you want to build a high rise, you need iron, steel, cement, concrete; materials that are super strong and durable but also come with a high carbon footprint. Now, some builders are ...
MycoTile grows mushroom roots to make affordable, eco-friendly panels. Fungi-based materials could help ease Nairobi’s housing shortage. Mycelium panels cost about one-third less than traditional ...
Why do marine structures fail early, and what can we build with instead? Explore how engineers are rethinking materials in ...
