Microsoft and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), part of the US Department of Energy, have made a significant discovery in battery technology using AI and supercomputing. The research has led to the identification of a new material that has the potential to reduce the reliance on lithium in batteries by up to 70%.
Microsoft researchers analyzed 32 million inorganic materials using AI and supercomputers in less than a week, narrowing the list to 18 promising candidates. This screening process would have taken over two decades using conventional lab research methods.
