Roman ruins inspire scientists to create cement from volcanic rock, no kiln required
SMRTR summary
Scientists inspired by ancient Roman concrete are developing a new type of cement using volcanic rock. Stanford professor Tiziana Vanorio's team has created a low-carbon cement that hardens naturally without requiring high-heat processing. This innovation could significantly reduce the cement industry's carbon footprint, potentially revolutionizing construction and addressing climate change concerns.
