“Glass is a highly recyclable material,” says Kaitlyn Becker, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “At ...

MIT spinoff 3D prints architectural glass bricks. Evenline envisions that 3D printable glass masonry could be reused many ...

MIT engineers have created 3D-printed, interlocking recycled glass bricks that could revolutionize sustainable construction.

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.

Inspired by the sustainable possibilities of circular construction, MIT engineers are creating a new type of reconfigurable ...

Plastics are all around us -- from food packaging and drinking bottles to the insulation in our homes. They are mostly all derived from fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, but what are the key ...

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry ...

Thermoplastics are the most common plastics, because they are so malleable when heated, and can be remelted. Elastomers, meanwhile, can be stretched to a great extent and then regain their ...

Another material placed between the bricks prevent scratches or cracks between glass surfaces but can be removed if a brick ...
