Aim-Hi project to speed use of AI in materials science and accelerate discovery science
The University of Liverpool has unveiled plans to build a £100 million artificial intelligence (AI)-driven materials discovery centre by 2031.
Located in Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter, it is hoped that the new AI Materials Hub for Innovation (Aim-Hi) will be a flagship national facility dedicated to accelerating the application of AI in materials chemistry.
