International collaboration lays the foundation for future AI for materials via the OPTIMADE standard
Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the development of new materials. A prerequisite for AI in materials research is large-scale use and exchange of data on materials, which is facilitated by a broad international standard. A major international collaboration including researchers from the LMS laboratory now presents an extended version of the OPTIMADE standard.

"Magnetostriction-Driven Muon Localization in an Antiferromagnetic Oxide" published in Phys. Rev. Lett.
A study involving PSI scientists from the LMS lab, and just published in Physical Review Letters has found that in manganese oxide, a textbook antiferromagnetic material, the site of an implanted spin-polarized muon is not well identified, but can change due to a previously neglected effect: magnetostriction.
