PHNX Materials found a way to decarbonize concrete using dirty coal waste

Coal-fired power plants have done their fair share of damage over the past century. From climate change to acid rain, black lung to heart disease, they’ve generally been on the debit side of the ledger. But lurking in the literal ashes is something of a minor climate savior. “Ash can be used to…

Researchers pioneer reconfigurable building blocks for Earth and off-world construction - Tech and Science Post

For centuries, innovations in structural materials have prioritized strength and durability—often at a steep environmental price. Today, the construction industry accounts for approximately 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with cement, steel, and concrete responsible for more than two-thirds of that total. As the world presses for a sustainable future, scientists are racing to reinvent the very foundations of our built environment. Now, r…
