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 ...
Using a custom 3D glass printing technology provided by MIT spinoff Evenline, the team has made strong, multilayered glass bricks, each in the shape of a figure eight, that are designed to interlock, ...
Glass block windows typically cost between $400 and $1,500 to install. Our in-depth guide uncovers the main factors affecting ...
multilayered glass bricks, each in the shape of a figure eight, that are designed to interlock, much like LEGO bricks. In mechanical testing, a single glass brick withstood pressures similar to ...
What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...
Two Dallas investors and developers will soon buy the city’s tallest tower and four downtown blocks to go with it if all goes ...
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. What if ...
These glass bricks are completely reconfigurable. Do please check the MIT link here, because it’s fascinating. You can take a building apart and just put up another one with the same materials ...
