Data Mining Boosts New Materials Searches

Abstract:
The production of new materials has traditionally been done by experimentation, followed by painstaking characterization to determine the materials’ properties.

Computational techniques have also been employed to predict the structure and characteristics of a given mixture, even though such virtual screenings require a significant amount of money and time due to the large number of potential structures to be studied.

To overcome these challenges, a group of scientists at MIT in Massachusetts are using data mining to facilitate the search for novel materials.
