MIT researchers have developed a new AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystals.

The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials for use in batteries, magnets, and many other applications.

For thousands of these materials, X-ray diffraction patterns exist but remain unsolved.

The materials each contain bismuth and one other element.

They could be useful in the design of new materials for permanent magnets.

Being able to determine the structures of powdered crystalline materials could help researchers working in nearly any field.

The research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation .
