Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are revolutionizing manufacturing, marketing and supply chain. The same is happening to scientific research where AI is proving to be a critical technology in scientific discovery. For instance, it is proving indispensable in predicting the outcomes of experiments, an example being quantum systems. Fully incorporated with fundamental laws of physics, AI can easily predict scientific simulations. Materials science, just like other experimental science branches such as drug discovery, leverage AI to model sophisticated experiments from data that is collected.

Climate change is a serious issue which needs immediate global attention. This is so because the planet continues to warm and the impacts it creates are worsening each day. There is compelling evidence which points out that there is a bleak future characterized by the rise in global temperatures, shrinking glaciers, rising sea level, warming ocean and other extreme events. Researchers have however been trying their best to address these issues by proposing various potential solutions. However they have not succeeded in averting the looming crisis.
