The artisan was preparing for his Glass After Dark show in the newly renovated Perry Glass studio at the Chrysler Museum of ...
MIT engineers have created 3D-printed, interlocking recycled glass bricks that could revolutionize sustainable construction.
“Glass is a highly recyclable material,” says Kaitlyn Becker, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “At ...
Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which ...
Engineers at MIT have developed interlocking bricks made from recycled glass that could be re-used at the end of a building's lifecycle.
The 3D-printed glass bricks, each shaped like a figure eight, are designed to interlock similar to LEGO bricks. In mechanical ...
“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” said researcher Michael Stern in a statement.
The potential for 3D-printable glass masonry is immense. It could be reused multiple times, serving as recyclable bricks for ...
These bricks are designed to interlock seamlessly, similar to LEGO pieces, making them versatile and easy to assemble.
What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry ...
The team points to glass’ optical properties and its “infinite recyclability” as reasons for turning to the material.
MIT engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused ...
