Portland cement is a fundamental structural and binding material for industry and society. Its structural and physical properties at different scales show a complexity that can presently be barely managed through experimental and computational methods. State of the art problems and trends in cement studies will be briefly assessed from the point of view of the processes at the molecular scale.
