Oh boy. This is a great thread to unpack how the experimental world is being held back when thinking about the role of AI/ML. A unfortunately long thread

Developing new materials for applications like superconductors is notoriously time-consuming. But with AI trained on data from Berkeley Lab's Materials Project, Google DeepMind predicted the structures of 2 million new materials, as covered in TIME: time.com/6340681/deepmi…

Good reminder: we just don't need hydrogen trains. Electric rail has been a thing for about a century. It works wonderfully. India has electrified ~half its massive rail network in five years. I think we can manage here if we wanted to. (I'm looking at you, California).

The workshop "Open Databases Integration for Materials Design" returns to CECAM-HQ (& online) this week! The OPTIMADE consortium was first established to create a comprehensive #API capable of accessing all #materials #databases, to address the issue of scattered databases.

Thank you 🙏 I’m very grateful to Rob van Hattum for his expertise and commitment to science and technology !

UC Berkeley just hosted a hackathon. Over 1000 students from around the world came to build for 36 hours straight. The reward? $100k+ in prizes. Here are the winners and crowd standouts we saw at CalHacks ‘24 Cal Hacks (🧵)

Really cool collaborate work with Hannu's group in Finland; this is truly a team effort and huge thanks to Caitlin for bringing it all together - literally, both scientifically and across oceans!

Deeply honored for this recognition and looking forward to future exciting research ! Sincere thank you DOE Office of Science for years of support and for believing in my work! Also deep gratitude goes to Persson Group, Berkeley Lab and Berkeley Engineering.

We enjoyed the 1st keynote of #Faraday2024 by Professor Kristin Persson, UC Berkeley. Kristin discussed the advantages of data-driven reaction network approaches for exploring chemical reactions with greater accuracy and efficiency. ⚡🔋

It was absolutely my pleasure to visit Newcastle and speak at the Annual Faraday Institution meeting; wonderful people and excellent discussion !

Mutian Hua saw this behavior in elastomers and then confirmed it with operando X-ray, NMR, and Raman with Zhengxing Peng, Ka Chon Ng, Jeremy Demarteau, Shira Haber, Sophia Fricke, Reimer Lab M. Salmeron, C. Wang. Theory insights from Kristin Persson Rishabh Guha Xiaoxu Ruan
