Artificial intelligence is accelerating material discovery and design by automating analysis, guiding experiments, and enabling predictive modeling across spectroscopy, microscopy, and synthesis.

Literature searches, simulations, and practical experiments have been part of the materials science toolkit for decades, but the last few years have seen an explosion of machine learning-driven ...

Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt, often shortened to WC–Co. It lasts a long time and resists wear, but ...

A team of researchers has found a new way to manufacture one of the toughest materials used in industry, opening the door to cheaper, more efficient production of high-performance tools. The material, ...
