Abstract:
Magnets are essential for mobile consumer electronics, electric motors that power industry and the future of transportation as well as generating and transforming most electric power. Strong magnets reduce the size and weight of motors and generators as well as improve efficiency. The most powerful -based magnets have a complex structure like millions that are expected to exist but have not been made and characterized. With the recent developments of AI materials discovery techniques, which enable data-driven and machine-learning-assisted screening, together with computational approaches that can accurately predict intrinsic magnetic properties of a given structure, and high-throughput autonomous labs, the discovery of new, ultra-powerful magnet materials with saturation magnetization greater than 2.5 Tesla or magnetic energy density ( ) greater than 800 kJ/ is now quite possible.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
