Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

research laboratory to study “bad bubbles” that cause defects in metal alloys used to produce engine turbine blades and semiconductor crystals that are crucial components in electronic devices.

In recent decades, the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopes has transformed, thanks to the introduction of focused ion beam (FIB) instruments. Known as either single-beam or ...
