Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Materials science explores the structure and properties of materials — semiconductors, metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and more — to understand and improve their performance. From smartphone ...

research laboratory to study “bad bubbles” that cause defects in metal alloys used to produce engine turbine blades and semiconductor crystals that are crucial components in electronic devices.

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the understanding and application of the properties of matter. Materials scientists study the connections between the underlying ...
