Machine Learning in Materials Science: Recent Progress and Emerging Applications

Computational materials science and industrial R&D: accelerating progress

67 still in its infancy, however, as the nature of materials problems are so complex. Fortunately, as computational power has grown, so too has our ability to attack increasingly challenging materials problems and pose increasingly difficult questions. To fully capitalize on these advances and accelerate the integration of computational materials science into day-to-day R&D, we must work to str...

Recent progress in thermoelectric materials

Direct conversion of heat into electricity through advanced thermoelectric (TE) materials has been one of the most attractive solutions to the severe environmental and energy issues facing humanity. In recent years, great progress has been made in improving their dimensionless figure of merit (ZT), which determines the conversion efficiency of TE devices. ZT is related to three “interlocked” fa...

Recent advances in electron tomography: TEM and HAADF-STEM tomography for materials science and semiconductor applications.

Electron tomography is a well-established technique for three-dimensional structure determination of (almost) amorphous specimens in life sciences applications. With the recent advances in nanotechnology and the semiconductor industry, there is also an increasing need for high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) structural information in physical sciences. In this article, we evaluate the capabil...

Recent Progress in Allergen Immunotherapy

The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...
