SLAC and its collaborators are transforming the way new materials are discovered. In a new report, they combine artificial intelligence and accelerated experiments to discover potential alternatives to steel in a fraction of the time. Blend two or three metals together and you get an alloy that usually looks and acts like a metal, with […]
Pittsburgh is no stranger to companies in Silicon Valley opening offices in the city. For tech titans like Google, Apple and Facebook and smaller companies like Autodesk and Citrine Informatics, Pittsburgh offers desirable talent in robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision and other in-demand fields. Petuum, however, is going in the opposite direction and looking West. […]
Citrine Informatics, a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, is using big data and AI to make creating new materials more efficient. The Silicon Valley company believes such an approach can bridge a gap between traditional, but slow, approaches to material science and the hunger of consumer electronics companies to deliver breakthrough products every couple of […]
Machine-learning system finds patterns in materials “recipes,” even when training data is lacking. Last month, three MIT materials scientists and their colleagues published a paper describing a new artificial-intelligence system that can pore through scientific papers and extract “recipes” for producing particular types of materials. That work was envisioned as the first step toward a system that […]
U.S.-based venture company Citrine Informatics Inc., a specialist in materials development, is advancing its business with impressive results. The company runs simulations with huge quantities of data to select candidate materials likely to satisfy client demand for certain characteristics. A company representative says this process can shorten its clients’ development periods by 50–70 percent. The […]
At HRL Laboratories in Malibu, California, materials scientist Hunter Martin and his team load a grey powder as fine as confectioner’s sugar into a machine. They’ve curated the powder recipe—mostly aluminum, blended with some other elements—down to the atom. The machine, a 3-D metal printer, lays the powder down a single dusting at time, while a laser […]
Panasonic Corp. (TYO:6752) aims to increase the efficiency of its new materials development efforts by using the materials informatics (MI) technology of Citrine Informatics Inc., a Silicon Valley venture firm. By optimizing its use of enormous volumes of accumulated proprietary data, Panasonic expects to be able to halve development time and complement its scarce development […]
The Future of Materials Conference brought together industry specialists and academics to exchange ideas about how to apprehend the big changes that will affect the world. Held on Monday and Tuesday 13 and 14 November in Luxembourg City, The Economist event analysed the modern materials “ecosystem”, from research and development, via supply chains, to business applications. […]
