The future of materials science is being shaped by AI, revolutionizing how researchers approach material discovery and design. Traditional trial-and-error methods are slow and resource-intensive, but AI is unlocking a new era—where discovery is faster, smarter, and more targeted than ever before.

Machine learning force fields (MLFFs) are transforming molecular dynamics simulations by increasing the accuracy and reducing the computational costs of classical simulation techniques, enabling more accurate, efficient simulations across materials science, chemistry and biology.

Solid-state batteries may one day outperform lithium-ion batteries, offering higher energy density, improved safety, and longer lifespans. However, there are still major challenges to overcome before this technology can compete in the global market.
