AI streamlines search for new ceramics that generate electricity

Researchers at Penn State have developed an AI-assisted framework to accelerate the discovery of piezoelectric ceramics that generate electricity under stress. By combining large language models with human scientific expertise, the team can identify promising material compositions more efficiently than traditional trial-and-error methods.
