AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium

New battery material that uses less lithium found in AI-powered search

While the dime-size prototype is not ready for prime time, the feat demonstrates the potential of new technologies to revolutionize materials science.

Artificial intelligence has delivered a promising breakthrough for the next transformation with a completely new material that does not exist in nature. But there is still a long way to go.

AI makes new material that could dramatically change how batteries work

Microsoft systems were able to scan through 32 million potential batteries, company says

Microsoft, US lab use AI to speed search for new battery materials

Microsoft has worked with a U.S. national laboratory to use artificial intelligence to rapidly identify a material that could mean producing batteries that require 70 per cent less lithium than now, the company said on Tuesday.The replacement of much of the lithium with sodium, a common element found in t

New material found by AI could reduce lithium use in batteries

Microsoft said AI and supercomputing were used to synthesise an entirely new material.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and large-scale cloud computing is speeding up the search for new battery materials. An AI-enhanced collaboration between Microsoft and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has already produced one promising new material, which the two are sharing publicly today. They discovered a new kind …
