An international research group is building a case for more sustainable concrete by replacing synthetic reinforcement materials with natural fibres and materials from difference waste streams.
The latest Flinders University-led study, with experts from the US and Turkey, demonstrates how geopolymers reinforced with renewable natural fibres and made with industrial by-products and waste-based sands from lead smelting or glass-making can
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is full-throttle on cutting emissions and reducing energy consumption with its Energy Earthshots program.
The term “Energy Earthshots,” coined by the DOE, denotes several different programs aimed at producing clean energy from various sources. For example, there are Hydrogen Shots, Carbon Negative Shots, Enhanced Geothermal Shots, Floating Offshore Wind Shots and Industrial Heat Shots.

Crystal Palace FC in London has won planning permission for updates in the design to its proposed new Main Stand at its Selhurst Park stadium.
The club originally won planning permission for the stadium expansion from Croydon councillors four years ago. But the Covid-19 pandemic delayed the scheme and the club recently submitted minor adjustments to adhere to new London
Damage to industrial parts is expensive, results in delays, and may be unsafe to plant workers. But now, scientists from Japan have simulated fracture initiated in materials that share a particular physical characteristic and are widely used across domestic, industrial and scientific applications. Their work showed surprising results that may help prevent damage to industrial parts.
