New materials are urgently needed to make better components of the type used for sustainable energy. Technologies like nuclear fusion and quantum computing need materials that can tolerate high levels of radiation or support quantum computing while being safe, cost-effective, and sustainable. But those materials don’t yet exist, and discovering them is a herculean task that involves synthesizing and testing large numbers of hypothesized materials. […]
