AI Uncovers 25 Unknown Magnetic Materials, Revolutionizing Science

  • AI identified 25 previously unknown magnetic materials, some of which were entirely new to scientists.
  • These newly discovered compounds maintain magnetism at high temperatures, crucial for motors, generators, and electronics.
  • Scientists at the University of New Hampshire used a large language model to scan over 67,000 known magnetic compounds and decades of scientific data.
  • The AI's ability to read scientific literature and predict properties accelerated discovery, a process that would take years in traditional labs.
  • This breakthrough offers alternatives to expensive, scarce, and environmentally harmful rare-earth metals, potentially making technology cheaper and greener.
