When my kids ask me, ‘Mom, what’s your job?’ I tell them: ‘I study rocks and I figure out how to use them to make our house more comfortable.’ It sounds simple, but that "comfort" relies on some incredibly complex science. In Episode 4 of our "The Research Behind" series, YANJIA ZUO takes us inside our Johns Creek Technology Center to show exactly what that means for your home: 🎨 Making paint safer: Finding ways to create beautiful matte finishes without using "forever chemicals" (PFAS) 🌿 Building more sustainably: Creating materials that lower the carbon footprint of a building without making it weaker 🤖 Inventing faster: Using AI to speed up the discovery of new solutions Curious to meet the rock star (literally) behind the research? 🎸 Hit play below 👇and read Yanjia’s full story here: https://bit.ly/4pt1RwS

How do we bring nature back to our sites? Swipe to see our progress in Milos, Greece, with photos taken 20 years apart. Here’s how we did it: 👉 We enriched the soil quality with nutrients 👉 We planted native species to ensure that the vegetation is adapted to the island’s challenging climate conditions 👉We monitored plant growth for 3 to 5 years to make sure the land restoration was successful  It’s a powerful reminder, especially on World Soil Day, that restoring biodiversity starts from the ground up. 🌿 ➡️ Explore the full story on our website: https://bit.ly/48llaSF

You can’t ask a river to stop flowing while your concrete dries. Standard construction rules don’t apply to dams. They face constant erosion and water pressure that standard materials just can't handle. That’s where Fondag® for dams and waterways comes in. We use specific mineral chemistry to solve one of the biggest challenges in infrastructure maintenance: cutting curing times from weeks to hours. Swipe to see the science and if you’re ready to save 27 days, it’s this way 👉: https://bit.ly/4ixvmuG 

🏔️ Take a virtual tour of our Bodio site, where Swiss precision meets industrial power. Nestled deep in a valley between majestic Swiss mountains, our Bodio plant isn't just a site with a breathtaking view; it is a century-old hub of graphite innovation. Here is why this historic facility is so special: 🏭 A century of expertise: We have been producing high-quality synthetic graphite right here since 1917. 🔋 The site powers modern life: The graphite produced here is a key ingredient in the technologies we use every day: lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, alkaline batteries, and thermally conductive polymers used in automotive parts and electronics. ✅ Dedication to quality, excellence and safety: Bodio holdsthe prestigious IATF 16949 certification, placing us in the top tier of global automotive suppliers (an achievement shared by only 0.9% of ISO-certified companies worldwide). 🌿Our latest innovation: a more sustainable graphite called SU-NERGY™, which transforms forest residues into high-performance material using 100% renewable energy. The result is up to 60% reduction in CO₂ emissions, offering manufacturers a secure, European-made alternative.
