Tree forks are naturally engineered structural connections that work as cantilevers in trees, which means that they have the potential to transfer force very efficiently thanks to their internal fiber ...

Cement built the modern world, but it also quietly helped heat the planet. As researchers race to cut emissions from construction, a new generation of materials is emerging that does more than reduce ...

Researchers have developed a new carbon-negative building material that could reshape approaches to sustainable construction.

Bio‐based building materials, derived from renewable agricultural residues and other natural fibres, are gaining prominence due to their low embodied energy and attractive thermal properties. These ...
