The University of Liverpool's researchers developed a new AI that could identify materials that are not recorded yet. Thanks to its advanced features, the machine learning technology already discovered four new substances.  

These include a new type of solid-state material, which conducts lithium: an essential substance that creates solid-state batteries. This is a great innovation since the United States and other countries are trying to find better energy sources that various electric vehicles could rely on. 

"There have been a surge of machine learning (ML) studies that aim to extract the underlying patterns of chemistry available from ICSD," said involved researchers. 

The new study titled "Element selection for crystalline inorganic solid discovery guided by unsupervised machine learning of experimentally explored chemistry" was published in the Nature Communications Journal this Sept. 21.
