It’s interesting that this work comes from Stanford, which is host to Professor Mark Jacobson (not mentioned here), profound hater of carbon capture as a climate solution. True diversity of opinions over there! “Stanford University chemists have developed a practical, […]
“While traditional cement production gets its necessary calcium carbonate from limestone that releases carbon dioxide when heated in a kiln, the U-M researchers can make the calcium carbonate through an electrochemical process that captures CO2 from the air and binds […]
“The most significant results were observed in the beams with completely separated hexagonal tablets, which are similar to nacre. These beams exhibited 19 times the ductility and 17 times the fracture toughness while retaining nearly the same strength as the […]
From Bill Gates: “In 1950, the world made roughly as much steel as cement (a key ingredient in concrete); by 2010, steel production had grown by a factor of 8, but cement had gone up by a factor of 25.” | learn […]
