Navigating Chemical Space with Simulations and Machine Learning: How Scientists Discover New Materials
November 25, 2024
Have you ever wondered how scientists discover new materials? You may picture researchers toiling in their lab day and night until one of them has a eureka moment that changes everything. Everyday reality looks a bit different, though.
In our high-tech era, more and more of the experimental work chemists and materials scientists do happens inside computers. Chemical simulations have earned their place as the third pillar of R&D, together with theory and experiments.
