Machine Learning and the Future of Sustainability Science

HumanNature

For context, the perennial problem in designing novel chemical materials, like new biofuels or energy storage materials for batteries, is one of scale. To illustrate this, let’s consider designing a novel biofuel blend to replace diesel. At the same time, we’d like for it to produce less soot, and thus, less air pollution.
