Schematic illustration of the concept of the digital materials ecosystem. This concept consists of databases (left frame), AI and theoretical frameworks (middle frame), and closed-loop innovation ...

There is a near-infinite number of material candidates out there—and simply not enough time to hunker down in the lab and test them all. Thankfully, researchers have a variety of tools (such as AI) at ...

A new study published in the journal One Earth reveals that the way ecosystems collapse—abruptly or gradually—may depend on internal complexity, much like how magnetic materials behave under stress.

Sea urchins climb onto kelp when their densities are so high they remove all drift kelp and then actively forage on attached, living kelp. (Credit: Steve Lonhart / NOAA MBNMS) Tipping points are the ...

With countless material candidates and limited lab time, a digital materials ecosystem combines AI and multiple tools into one cohesive system to accelerate discovery. (Nanowerk News) There is a near ...
