Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls.
There has been glass manufacturing in Charleroi for more than 100 years, but that may end this year if the Corelle Brands ...
The Innovation Hub is celebrating its 10th anniversary this weekend as part of the Argenta Arts District’s 3rd Friday Art ...
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 ...
Tombstone, Arizona, offers an authentic Old West experience perfect for families seeking a unique getaway. This charming town ...
“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.
