Artificial Intelligence to Power the Future of Materials Science and Engineering

From the Paleolithic Age to the coming fourth industrial revolution, the millions of years of human history is mainly marked by materials. Material science is mainly to explore the relationship between materials structure, process, properties, and application. The discovery of new materials will play a greater role in promoting the development of human society. After several centuries of development, a large amount of data has been accumulated in the field of materials science.1 However, the inherent limitations of human cognitive ability make it difficult for human beings to absorb and process the massive literature and data produced every day.2 Only a small part of data (compared with the whole data volume) can be analyzed in a certain subdivision field.
