Millions of new materials discovered with deep learning

An #AI tool that has discovered 2.2 million new materials, and helps to predict material stability.


AI tool GNoME finds 2.2 million new crystals, including 380,000 stable materials that could power future technologies.

Modern technologies from computer chips and batteries to solar panels rely on inorganic crystals. To enable new technologies, crystals must be stable otherwise they can decompose, and behind each new, stable crystal can be months of painstaking experimentation.

Today, in a paper published in Nature, we share the discovery of 2.2 million new crystals – equivalent to nearly 800 years’ worth of knowledge. We introduce Graph Networks for Materials Exploration (GNoME), our new deep learning tool that dramatically increases the speed and efficiency of discovery by predicting the stability of new materials.
