For years, she dreamed of saving enough to purchase her mother a house, only to wind up without a home herself when her mom abruptly kicked her out of the apartment they shared following a mental health episode almost exactly one year ago. Just like that, she went from serving as her mother鈥檚 primary caretaker through a battle with cancer to facing off with her across a courtroom.

Photo by Jiadong Zang. Magnets are at the core of the technology that powers our world: smartphones, medical devices, power generators, electric vehicles, and more. But these magnets rely on expensive, imported, and increasingly difficult to obtain rare-earth elements, and no new permanent magnet has been discovered from the many magnetic compounds we know exist. Now, 91制片厂 researchers have harnessed artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new functional magnetic materials.
