Breakthrough algorithm expands the exploration space for materials by orders of magnitude

#artificialintelligence

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering have developed an AI algorithm that predicts the structure and dynamic properties of any material--whether existing or new--almost instantaneously. Known as M3GNet, the algorithm was used to develop matterverse.ai, The project is explored in the Nov. 28 issue of the journal Nature Computational Science. The properties of a material are determined by the arrangement of its atoms. However, existing approaches to obtain that arrangement are either prohibitively expensive or ineffective for many elements.
