A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 27, 2 April 2026.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Microstructure and Performance Optimization of Barley Husk Ash–Blended Mortars: A Sustainable Approach to Cement Substitution

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Barley husk ash (BHA), an agricultural byproduct rich in pozzolanic oxides, was optimized as a sustainable cement substitute. Statistical modeling and experimental validation confirmed 22.75% BHA as the optimal replacement, enhancing mechanical and durability performance while advancing eco‐efficient construction practices.
