Imagine if we could predict the properties of materials without having to test them in a lab. This would save a lot of time and money, and it could help scientists discover new materials with amazing properties, like super-strong metals or super-efficient semiconductors. This is exactly what researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and University College London are working on. They are using machine learning tools to predict material properties, even when there is limited data available.
