Cement is a mineral-based material that binds together sand and rock to form concrete. Although the use of cement stretches back into antiquity, scientists are still unclear on the exact process by which it transforms from a fresh paste into a solid. Better understanding of this transition could lead to developments in strengthening concrete as well as lowering its overall cost.
