No Single Best AI Platform for Material Requirements and Manufacturing Instructions

Recent advances in AI present opportunities to transform industries by meeting demands for efficiency and sustainability. Here, the authors propose a framework for AI-driven infrastructures in materials discovery and manufacturing, highlighting open-source tools and scalable architectures to ...

Critics slammed attempts by Google, Microsoft and Meta to speed up materials discovery. But behind the hype, there is progress.

Existing material models serve as a foundation for advanced modelling and simulations aimed at reducing the time required for characterisation and discovery, with physics-based models gaining importance in the development of AI-supported surrogate models. This review also covers currently available resources, including: (i) software for solving complex mathematical equations and material modelling; (ii) web-based platforms and tools designed for both expert and non-expert users; and (iii) materials data repositories, prioritising standardisation.

It is obvious that different types of datasets require distinct computational approaches, many of which are continuously evolving. Generating such datasets through traditional laboratory experiments can takes years. In this section, we provide an overview of state-of-the-art databases, material descriptors, software platforms, simulators, and representations used in materials informatics.

AI also advances in situ ... identification. Despite rapid progress, challenges remain in model generalizability, standardized data formats, experimental validation, and energy efficiency....
