A method to interpret artificial intelligence (AI) models used in materials discovery by analyzing their learned features has been developed by researchers from Japan. The method extracts key features ...

Why do certain surfaces behave very differently from what theoretical calculations suggest? Scientists long assumed that the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

The way has been paved for the development of multi-functional materials for applications such as removing radioactive ...
