Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

It feels like AI is everywhere these days, and material science is no exception. For a long time, finding new materials was a slow, often accidental process. Think of those stories where someone ...

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the ...

AI-driven material development and new additive manufacturing technology are accelerating new aluminum alloy, battery, and material processing innovations.
