In the quest for energy efficiency, researchers are turning to nature for inspiration, and a recent study published in the journal *Biomimetics* (translated from Chinese) is making waves in the underwater drag reduction sector. Led by Zaixiang Zheng

In the frosty expanses of cold regions, where the ground thaws and freezes in a relentless cycle, construction faces a formidable foe. Freeze-thaw cycles degrade soft soil foundations, undermining the safety and longevity of buildings and infrastruct

In the heart of Guangzhou, China, a groundbreaking study led by Ghasan Fahim Huseien at the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is turning the construction industry’s waste problem into a sustainable solution. The r

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, the wind energy sector faces a growing challenge: what to do with retired wind turbine blades (RWTBs). These massive structures, made from non-recyclable composite materials, have traditionally ended

In a significant stride towards sustainable construction, researchers have demonstrated the potential of recycled plastic corrugated panels as a viable alternative to traditional roofing materials. A study led by Aaroon Joshua Das from the Department

In the quest to reduce the construction industry’s substantial carbon footprint, researchers are turning to an unlikely ally: biochar. This carbon-rich material, derived from biomass through pyrolysis, is emerging as a promising supplementary cementi

In the quest for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings, researchers are turning to dynamic facades that can adapt to changing environmental conditions. A recent study published in the journal *Buildings* (which translates to “Buildings” in Engli

In a significant stride towards sustainable urban development, researchers have demonstrated that building demolition waste materials (BDWM) can effectively replace natural materials in road construction. This groundbreaking study, led by Majid Ahmad

In the quest to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry, researchers have turned to an unlikely source: waste from the metallurgical industry. A recent study published in the journal *Resources* (translated from Spanish) explores
