World's first graphene-enhanced concrete slab poured in England

As the mostly widely used material on Earth, concrete has a massive carbon footprint that scientists are working to chip away at in all sorts of ways. Recent research projects have demonstrated how the wonder material graphene could play a role in this and now we're seeing the first real-world deployment of the technology, with engineers using so-called "Concretene" to form the foundations of a new gym in the UK.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Concrete, Graphene, University of Manchester, Building and Construction, Cement, Climate Solutions: Cement, Materials
