In materials science research, combinatorial optimization plays a fundamental role in many tasks, such as experimental design and candidate material selection. For example, experimental design can be formulated as the problem of selecting which combinations of conditions to evaluate, making it a typ...

There is a pressing need to develop new rechargeable battery technologies that offer higher energy density, faster charging, longer lifetimes, and lower costs, particularly in the context of the global transition toward renewable energy and electrified transportation. Lithium-ion batteries have alre...

Power modules built on silicon carbide and gallium nitride run at junction temperatures above 200 °C, which rules out conventional solder in the die-attach layer. Sintered silver has taken its place, because a joint melting at 962 °C sits at a low homologous temperature, and the porous network lef...

Quantum computing (QC) holds tremendous potential for accelerating the simulation and design of energy materials, where classical computing methods are limited by the exponential divergence of complexity in high-dimensional materials configuration spaces. We develop and adopt tailored approaches for...
