The University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing has introduced the Element-Weighted Kolmogorov–Arnold Network, a novel interpretable ML architecture that predicts crystal energy landscape properties — formation energy, band gap, and work function — directly from chemical composition. EWKAN achieves state-of-the-art accuracy across large-scale databases, matching or exceeding GNN-based models that require full 3D atomic structure inputs, while using orders of magnitude fewer parameters.

CAMM at UT Knoxville, focuses on the exploration, discovery, and design of new materials with properties of critical societal importance for energy, transport, and security advancements.

An interdisciplinary team of CAMM IRG1 researchers developed a quantitatively reliable helium-benzene potential energy surface with quantum chemical accuracy by combining CCSD(T)/CBS electronic-structure and a multifidelity Gaussian process model that merges sparse high-accuracy data with dense lower-cost DFT data. This is an important result for a weakly bound quantum system in which small errors in the interaction potential lead to materially different many-body predictions.

The NSF-sponsored Wisconsin Materials Research Science and Engineering Center brings together teams of researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to tackle grand challenges in the materials science of liquids and glasses and non-equilibrium magnetism.

The UChicago MRSEC pioneers frameworks for materials discovery, focusing on trainable soft materials, activated architectured materials with dynamic transport properties, and quantum transduction for integrated circuits.

I-MRSEC has a mission to perform fundamental, innovative research that supports technological applications in areas of societal need, while promoting interdisciplinary materials-focused education and training of students.

The Harvard MRSEC focuses on unraveling complex phenomena in soft materials with the goal of translating these advances to benefit society.

Established in 1994, the Princeton Center for Complex Materials is dedicated to exploring the frontiers of complexity in materials science. The Center supports two IRGs that will accelerate exploration of quantum technologies and biology-inspired materials.
