Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C, limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult. To make graphene production more practical, a recent study has overcome this long-standing temperature barrier. In a study published in the Journal of the
Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have teamed up with colleagues from Zürich to experimentally verify a curious phenomenon that had already been predicted by theory: an atomic-scale effect similar to how a football curves when kicked with spin. The results were published in the journal Physical Review Letters earlier this month.

Machine learning doesn’t replace human intelligence, but it can outlast human endurance, which makes it a very helpful tool for chemistry and material discovery. Scientists know the machine learning models can make predictions based on the vast reams of data it is trained on, but can it take it a step further and massively scale up testing out those predictions? “We already see that AI is powerful
