The integration of physics simulations and artificial intelligence to design new and advanced materials.

The journal Nature Computational Science has published a review by scientists from the Max Planck Institute exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in materials science. The team highlighted the increasing importance of merging physics-based simulations with AI to design complex materials that meet technological and environmental demands. With the limitations of traditional simulation methods, AI has several advantages and will play a crucial role in material sciences in the future. The use of AI enables thermodynamic and microstructural features to be automatically extracted from Large data sets acquired from electronic, atomistic, and continuum simulations that have a high level of predictive capability While there are still many questions surrounding the use of AI in materials science, it is set to play an increasingly important role, especially as algorithms develop, and high-quality material datasets and high-performance computing resources become more widely available.
