Construction is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, so finding new materials and methods is a crucial goal. Researchers at Flinders University have now developed a new type of polymer, made out of industrial waste, that can be formed into building bricks that bond together without needing any mortar.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Environment, Environmentally
Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed a 'faster, cheaper method to produce customized optical components' for applications including 'corrective lenses, augmented and virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging and astronomy.' As DIY Photography observes, it's not unreasonable to think that the new lens making method could be used for photographic l
