MatterGen: Property-guided materials design
Generative AI has revolutionized how we create text and images. How about designing novel materials? We at Microsoft Research AI4Science are thrilled to announce MatterGen, our generative model that enables broad property-guided materials design.
The central challenge in materials science is to discover materials with desired properties, e.g., high Li-ion conductivity for battery materials. Traditionally, this has been done by first finding novel materials and then filtering down based on the application. This is like trying to create the image of a cat by first generating a million
