Artificial Intelligence for Materials Discovery: Finding novel materials needs more than pure machine learning.

The article discusses various aspects of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in an effort to discover materials such as high-entropy alloys that can be used in electronics and transportation. The use of density-functional theory calculations in the search for alloys with low...

Sumario:The article discusses various aspects of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in an effort to discover materials such as high-entropy alloys that can be used in electronics and transportation. The use of density-functional theory calculations in the search for alloys with low thermal expansion is assessed, along with AI research, materials characterization, and the training of a system to improve multiple properties.
