Uncertainty gives scientists new confidence in search for novel materials
Menlo Park CA (SPX) Jul 14, 2014 - Scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have found a way to estimate uncertainties in computer calculations that are widely used to speed the search for new materials for industry, electronics, energy, drug design and a host of other applications. The technique, reported in the July 11 issue of Science, should quickly be adopted in st ... more
