New Consortium Established to Support GEMS Software Development
A national consortium has been formed to ensure the ongoing development and maintenance of GEMS, a software platform facilitating simulations of chemical and thermodynamic processes. This initiative, involving institutions like PSI and ETH Zurich, will enhance research capabilities in diverse fields including planetary science and geochemistry.

The newly formed national consortium aims to support the ongoing development and maintenance of GEMS (Gibbs Energy Minimisation Software), which allows for the simulation of complex chemical processes that would otherwise take thousands of years. Key institutions involved include PSI, ETH Zurich, Empa, the University of Bern, EPFL, and Nagra.
GEMS has applications ranging from modeling Martian meteorites to researching lithium extraction from geothermal water. The consortium will share responsibilities for software updates and funding, ensuring GEMS remains a state-of-the-art tool for researchers globally. As the demand for advanced modeling increases, the collaboration will be critical for sustaining GEMS' functionality and relevance in various scientific domains.
