Changing the rules of materials development with Physics-Grounded AI: how Matlantis PFP came to be

Subaru Nakazono Subaru Nakazono

DFT calculations are the backbone of computational materials science: highly accurate, but notoriously expensive to run. Machine-learning interatomic potentials were meant to change that. Yet for a long time, each model could only handle a narrow, purpose-built slice of chemistry. The breakthrough that finally reconciled accuracy with generality is Matlantis PFP, a proprietary AI model with world-leading performance.

How to Choose Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation Software: 6 Key Points and 14 Tools Compared

Makoto Ota Makoto Ohta

In the field of materials development, we often encounter atomic-level questions such as, "Why do ions diffuse so easily in this material?", "What is happening near the interface?", and "How do defects affect the properties?". A powerful tool for answering these questions is molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, which visualizes the movement of atoms and molecules through calculations.

Micro-Physical AI: Another invisible form of physical AI and the future of materials development

Daisuke Okanohara Daisuke Okanohara

What is Physical AI? Current LLMs (Large Language Models) learn about the world from text. Through this, they incorporate the knowledge accumulated by humans so far and are already having a major impact on the world. However, to borrow Plato's words, text is merely a "shadow" of reality. Text only records a portion of what humans have been able to verbalize, and the overwhelming majority of phenomena occurring in the physical world have not yet been turned into words.

Semiconductor devices are manufactured by forming nanoscale structures on silicon wafers. This involves repeating numerous processes such as film deposition, photolithography, etching, ion implantation, and planarization to create fine circuit structures on the wafer. In these manufacturing processes, the physical properties of the materials and the reactions occurring at the surface and interface significantly impact device performance and yield. In recent years, the micro-scale of devices has been a key factor.
