Google AI discovers 2.2 million new materials for a host of technologies

> GNoME’s discovery of 2.2 million materials would be equivalent to about 800 years’ worth of knowledge and demonstrates an unprecedented scale and level of accuracy in predictions

Even if this is an exaggeration, getting just 8 years ahead is a big deal. Material Science like so many other physical sciences is probably going to get sexy again.

The rest of the article is about synthesizing and testing GNoME's predictions using a [robot lab run by another AI](https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2023/04/17/meet-the-autonomous-lab-of-the-future/):

> A-Lab is a closed-loop system, meaning it can make decisions about what to do next without human input. Once given its mission, it can select and mix the starting ingredients, inject admixtures during heating, prepare the final product, and extract it into an X-ray diffractometer for analysis. The lab’s AI will use that analysis to inform future attempts. And it can manage 50 to 100 times as many samples per day than a typical human researcher.
