AI Narrows Down Promising Materials for Better Batteries
- Microsoft and PNNL use AI to find better solid state batteries
- Starting with 32 million materials, ML algorithm narrowed it down to 150 most promising
- Further HPC algorithm winnowed the list to 23 potential candidates
- Developed a Li/Na-ion solid state electrolyte that could reduce Li by 70%
- Technology helping science through robots doing lab work or surgery
