Nanotechnology is increasingly being researched for applications in the construction industry and cement is a particular focus. Apart from reducing the damaging environmental side effects of cement ...

Researchers found samples processed on the space station showed significant changes in the cement microstructure when compared to samples from Earth.

Investigating pretreatment techniques, this research reveals how microstructural improvements can enhance the performance of ...

This study presents an advanced model for predicting concrete durability, showing that silica fume and slag can drastically boost concrete durability.

Modern concrete, however, includes chemical and mineral additives that impart unique properties. It is common today to find the cement to be a mixture of two or three different ingredients.

A new version of cement naturally cools down buildings—and costs less to make. It looks like ordinary cement. It feels like ordinary cement. But it has a hidden ability: this “supercool” cement can ...

A new look inside 2,000-year-old Roman concrete has provided new clues to the evolving chemistry and mineral cements that allow ancient harbor structures to withstand the test of time.

The ISS samples showed notable changes in the cement microstructure compared to those processed on Earth, with the primary difference being increased porosity.
