Prof Ong hopes the AI Foundry can compress discovery cycles for new materials from months or years to weeks. Professor Shyue Ping Ong wants AI to do more than predict whether a material might work. His vision is a discovery system that can propose new materials for a specific purpose, identify the most useful experiments to run, learn from every result and help scientists understand why a material

In the realm of materials science, there is a plethora of datasets and tools at our disposal - the issue is how to effectively make use of these resources in harmony. Researchers at the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), Tohoku University, have identified major bottlenecks holding back artificial-intelligence-driven polymer innovation and created a system that integrates multipl
Artificial intelligence (AI) may have more to offer science than accurate predictions.

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC), an interaction between an electron ' s spin and its motion, plays a key role in creating topological insulators—unusual materials that are insulating in their interior but can conduct electricity along their surfaces. Now, a new study published in Newton finds that increas ing temperature weakens SOC in the topological insulator Bi 2 Se 3 , driving a transition to a norm

Developing safer solid-state batteries requires replacing flammable organic liquid electrolytes with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) that can conduct ions well, remain stable, and have suitable mechanical properties. As interest in SSEs has grown, so has the volume of research in the field. However, the reported data remain scattered across the literature and vary widely in format and completeness

At the bottom of the ocean, optical fibers transmit telecommunications and internet data across the world. Waveguides make that feat possible by channeling and amplifying the light — and therefore the data within — over enormous distances. And the technology goes beyond undersea cables. Waveguiding optics are among the most important advances in photonics since the invention of the laser. They are fundamental to the structure of glass fiber lasers, which are used for high-power national security applications like counter-drone laser systems and missile defense. Now, researchers at
