Researchers at TU Graz are pioneering an AI-driven approach to molecular engineering, aiming to enhance the construction of nanostructures. The focus is on developing a self-learning AI system that can autonomously position molecules with precision and speed. This innovation is expected to facilitate the creation of complex molecular structures, including nanometre-scale logic circuits.
The research group, funded by the Austrian Science Fund with 1.19 million euros, emphasizes the importance of molecular arrangement in determining material properties. By leveraging high-performance microscopy alongside AI, the project seeks to overcome the limitations of traditional methods, which are often slow and yield simpler structures. The findings are set to be published in the journal Computer Physics Communications, marking a significant step forward in materials science.
