DeepMind's AI has found more new materials in a year than scientists have in centuries
Google DeepMind has trained a deep learning model to predict the structure of over 2.2 million crystalline materials, potentially revolutionizing the development of key future technologies.
Of the new materials discovered, some 381,000 are thought to be stable, with potential applications in semiconductors, supercomputers, batteries, and more.
The AI model found thousands of new layered compounds and potential lithium-ion conductors that could be used to develop more efficient superconductors and boost the performance of EV batteries. [ more ]
Google's DeepMind AI can make better weather forecasts than supercomputers
Google DeepMind has developed an AI algorithm called GraphCast that can predict the weather more accurately than current forecasting methods.
GraphCast outperformed the ECMWF, the current gold standard weather simulation system, on more than 99% of weather variables in 90% of the 1,300 test regions.
The AI model is not flawless and should be used to complement, rather than replace, established forecasting tools. [ more ]
