The development is the first to commercially use Concretene, a greener and cheaper concrete alternative that blends concrete with graphene.

A member of the Government’s Science and Technology Select Committee (STSC) discovered first-hand how material science can help the UK build back

Recent research projects have demonstrated how the wonder material graphene could play a role in stronger, more eco-friendly concrete, and now we're seeing the first real-world deployment of the technology in the foundations of a new gym in the UK.

Manchester innovation pioneers score world first for sustainable construction with carbon-busting graphene concrete. Experts at The University of Manchester and partner Nationwide Engineering will make history on Tuesday 25 May, as they complete the laying of the world's first graphene concrete slab engineered for sustainability in a commercial setting. Ironically, this building material of the future will be poured just a couple of miles from the ancient monument of Stonehenge.
