AI paves the way towards green cement
Research
PSI
The cement industry produces around eight percent of global CO₂ emissions – more than the entire aviation sector worldwide. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed an AI-based model that helps to accelerate the discovery of new cement formulations that could yield the same material quality with a better carbon footprint.

Since 2023, the Dutch VDL Enabling Technologies Group (VDL ETG) has had a branch in Park Innovaare in Villigen – right next to the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. As part of the family-owned VDL Groep, VDL ETG is a global supplier to companies that build high-tech manufacturing equipment and use state-of-the-art production lines. Hans Priem is Business Development Manager at VDL ETG. Cees Maris has primary responsibility for VDL ETG at Park Innovaare. 
Using terbium against lymphoma
Research
PSI
Radionuclide therapy with the radioactive element terbium could effectively combat lymphoma. This is demonstrated by promising results from experiments carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in collaboration with Inselspital – Bern University Hospital. The team’s findings are being published today in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The researchers are now refining this type of therapy in order to carry out clinical trials.
