AI discovers 2.2mn crystal structures, revolutionizing material science

Financial Times

Google DeepMind researchers have used AI to discover 2.2mn crystal structures, 45 times more than previously known. They plan to share 381,000 promising structures for testing in fields like renewable energy and advanced computation. The AI tool, GNoME, identified stable materials, potentially revolutionizing material science. The findings have already led to the creation of 41 novel compounds with a 70% success rate. MIT experts believe this could address global challenges.
