When cement is mixed with water, sand and gravel, it becomes concrete
When cement is mixed with water, sand and gravel, it becomes concrete – the most widely used building material in the world. However, the production of cement releases large amounts of carbon dioxide. Researchers at PSI are using artificial intelligence and computational modelling to develop alternative formulations that should be more climate-friendly. © Paul Scherrer Institute PSI/Markus Fischer
