Lu-doped zirconia (LuDZ) was reported in the 1960s to be a poor oxygen ion conductor. However, we identified this system as worthy of reexamination based on the results of a machine learning-based screen for promising oxygen ion conductors, further supported by a physical argument: because Lu is the heaviest and smallest of the lanthanides, it should offer the possibility of […]
Machine learning techniques are seeing increased usage for predicting new materials with targeted properties. However, widespread adoption of these techniques is hindered by the relatively greater experimental efforts required to test the predictions. Furthermore, because failed synthesis pathways are rarely communicated, it is difficult to find prior datasets that are sufficient for modeling. This work […]
Over the past several years, the field of materials informatics has grown dramatically. Applications of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to materials science are now commonplace. As materials informatics has matured from a niche area of research into an established discipline, distinct frontiers of this discipline have come into focus, and best practices […]
Single-crystal diffraction is one of the most common experimental techniques in chemistry for determining a crystal structure. However, the process of crystal structure determination and refinement is not always straightforward. Methods for simplifying and rationalizing the path to the most optimal crystal structure model have been incorporated into various data processing and crystal structure solution […]
Data‐driven science and technology have helped achieve meaningful technological advancements in areas such as materials/drug discovery and health care, but efforts to apply high‐end data science algorithms to the areas of glass and ceramics are still limited. Many glass and ceramic researchers are interested in enhancing their work by using more data and data analytics […]
The rapidly growing interest in machine learning (ML) for materials discovery has resulted in a large body of published work. However, only a small fraction of these publications includes confirmation of ML predictions, either via experiment or via physics-based simulations. In this review, we first identify the core components common to materials informatics discovery pipelines, […]
Materials exhibiting higher mobilities than conventional organic semiconducting materials such as fullerenes and fused thiophenes are in high demand for applications such as printed electronics, organic solar cells, and image sensors. In order to discover new molecules that might show improved charge mobility, combined density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) calculations were performed, […]
This data article presents a compilation of mechanical properties of 630 multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs). Built upon recently published MPEA databases, this article includes updated records from previous reviews (with minor error corrections) along with new data from articles that were published since 2019. The extracted properties include reported composition, processing method, microstructure, density, hardness, yield […]
A system and a method are disclosed that, in an embodiment, receive first input from a user of a candidate formulation recipe, and second input from the user of target properties and target property constraints. The system inputs the first input into a machine learning model, the model having been trained using historical training data, […]
Materials discovery is often compared to the challenge of finding a needle in a haystack. While much work has focused on accurately predicting the properties of candidate materials with machine learning (ML), which amounts to evaluating whether a given candidate is a piece of straw or a needle, less attention has been paid to a […]
