Scaling deep learning for materials discovery

A. Merchant, S. Batzner, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Amil Merchant, Simon Batzner, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Muratahan Aykol, Gowoon Cheon, and Ekin Dogus Cubuk shows how scaled graph neural networks can revolutionize materials discovery by uncovering 2.2 million new stable structures from a dataset of 48,000 crystals. This includes complex materials with unique elemental combinations never found before!

Abstract
This paper demonstrates that scaled graph neural networks (GNNs) can significantly improve the efficiency of materials discovery. By training GNNs on a dataset of 48,000 stable crystals and employing active learning, the researchers discovered 2.2 million new stable structures, representing an order-of-magnitude increase. These discoveries include materials with more than four unique elements, previously challenging to find. The resulting large dataset also enabled the training of highly accurate learned interatomic potentials, useful for molecular dynamics simulations and predicting properties like ionic conductivity.
