Artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly being used to accelerate the discovery and design of new materials. These techniques can be applied to a wide range of materials, including soft matter and quantum matter, to predict their properties and behavior. AI-driven materials discovery has the potential to revolutionize the field of materials science, enabling the rapid development of new materials with tailored properties for specific applications. Some of the key applications of AI in materials science include materials informatics, high-throughput screening, and automated synthesis and characterization.
