I routinely presume that people know all about efflorescence, but in fact many don’t understand it at all. I’m referring to the fluffy white deposits you might find on your concrete floors, brick ...

The new brick can be manufactured with a high density, compressive strength, tensile strength and Young's modulus (the ability to withstand changes under lengthwise compression). Researchers led by a ...
