Millions of new materials discovered with deep learning
Google’s Deepmind AI tool GNoME finds 2.2 million new crystals-equivalent to nearly 800 years’ worth of knowledge.Among these discoveries, 380,000 are highly stable and promising for experimental synthesis, potentially leading to transformative technologies such as superconductors, advanced batteries, and more efficient electric vehicles. This work demonstrates the potential of using AI to revolutionize materials discovery and development, with external researchers already validating many of the AI's predictions.
Microsoft president says no chance of super-intelligent AI soon
Microsoft's President, Brad Smith, stated that there is no chance of achieving super-intelligent artificial intelligence within the next 12 months, emphasizing the need for a focus on safety despite the rapid advancements in AI.

From microchips to batteries and photovoltaics, discovery of inorganic crystals is a fundamental problem in materials science. Graph Networks for Materials Science (GNoME) is a project centered around scaling machine learning methods to tackle this core task. With results recently published, this repository serves to share the discovery of 381,000 novel stable materials with the wider materials science community and hopefully enable exciting new research via the updated convex hull. This is a research project, not an official Google product.
