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.
