Microsoft Launches Innovative AI Model MatterGen to Create New Materials Based on Specific Needs

Microsoft Research has launched a powerful AI system called MatterGen that can generate new materials with specific properties, potentially accelerating the development of key technologies such as batteries and solar panels. The introduction of MatterGen signifies a fundamental shift in how scientists discover new materials. Unlike traditional methods that screen millions of existing compounds, MatterGen directly generates new materials based on desired characteristics, akin to how AI image generators create visuals from textual descriptions.
