Researchers aims to manufacture concrete that captures carbon emissions

Posted on by Haptic

Concrete is the most widely used manufactured material worldwide—and one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for at least 8% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Maria Konsta-Gdoutos, a University of Texas at Arlington civil engineering professor and associate director of the Center for Advanced Construction Materials (CACM), is leading an international effort to Read more about Researchers aims to manufacture concrete that captures carbon emissions[…]

2D materials capable of forming complex 3D shapes

Posted on by Haptic

University of Texas at Arlington researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes. The goal of the work is to create synthetic materials that can mimic how living organisms expand and contract soft tissues and thus achieve complex 3D movements and functions. Programming thin sheets, or 2D materials, Read more about 2D materials capable of forming complex 3D shapes[…]
