The potential for 3D-printable glass masonry is immense. It could be reused multiple times, serving as recyclable bricks for ...

“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” said researcher Michael Stern in a statement.

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

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 ...

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

Engineers at MIT have developed interlocking bricks made from recycled glass that could be re-used at the end of a building's lifecycle.

In mechanical testing, a single glass brick withstood pressures similar to that of a concrete block. As a structural ...
