This AI Can Find the Missing Atoms That X-Rays Cannot See

An AI model adapted from image inpainting can reconstruct missing atoms in crystal structures with a reported 97 percent success rate, addressing gaps that X-rays cannot detect, such as hydrogen atoms. The model, developed by researchers, enables computer simulations to use otherwise incomplete crystal structures.

An AI model adapted from image inpainting can reconstruct missing atoms in crystal structures with a reported 97 percent success rate. A crystal structure can appear nearly complete yet still be unusable for computer simulations because some of its atoms are missing. Hydrogen is a frequent source of these gaps, and researchers have now adapted ...
