AI can create climate-friendly cement recipes in seconds
Researchers in Switzerland have found a way to dramatically cut cement’s carbon footprint by redesigning its recipe. Their system simulates thousands of ingredient combinations, pinpointing those that keep cement strong while emitting far less carbon dioxide in seconds. The cement industry produces around eight percent of global CO2 emissions – more than the entire aviation…
