Resonac Partners with Matmerize to Pioneer 6G Technology Advancement using Innovative AI Software

ATLANTA, Sept. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a significant collaboration, Matmerize, Inc., a materials AI innovator, and Resonac Corporation have formed a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing the landscape of 6G technology. Building on the strong collaborative foundation, Resonac will leverage the power of Matmerize’s PolymRize™ AI software technology to accelerate the development of exceptional high-performance neat and composite materials for 6G technology and beyond.

In January 2023, Resonac Corporation announced plans to develop new semiconductor materials for 6G, the next-generation telecommunication system standard following 5G. With 6G set to be 100 times faster than 5G, new semiconductor materials are needed to substantially reduce the transmission loss associated with the increased communication speed. To meet this requirement, Resonac will identify optimal materials with the required characteristics through computational and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in a collaborative venture with Matmerize, Inc. Where manual testing using traditional techniques would demand three months to assess a single materials combination, Matmerize’s AI software, PolymRize™, reduces the time required to a single day and can evaluate up to 90 combinations within the same three-month span. The result promises to be a fusion of materials engineering and artificial intelligence, poised to redefine the development of 6G technology.

PolymRize™ harnesses Matmerize’s proprietary data or client-specific data to construct predictive models. Once built, these models rapidly predict the properties of novel, yet-to-be-synthesized polymers, composites, and formulations, complete with their associated uncertainties. The software employs automated and generative design tools to recommend ideal candidates that meet property requirements for subsequent rounds of physical experimentation. PolymRize™ thus accelerates the journey towards target materials, drastically reducing both time and costs. Moreover, it introduces a framework for data management and organization, and has emerged as a dependable digital aide for chemists and process engineers.

In a pilot initiative, Resonac evaluated Matmerize’s capabilities. Predictive models were constructed using PolymRize™ and 3rd party software for key material properties relevant to 6G technology. Properties included bandgap, dielectric constant, refractive index, glass transition temperature, and coefficient of linear expansion. The performance of PolymRizeTM and third-party models were assessed by making property predictions for identical unseen test cases. PolymRizeTM predictions consistently out-performed third-party models in speed and accuracy (see figure showing Performance of models).

Attack on border check posts kills 12 terrorists, 4 soldiers in N. Pakistan

At least 12 “terrorists” and four soldiers of Pakistan army were killed in an attack on two military posts in Pakistan’s northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province near the borders with Afghanistan.

A large group of terrorists equipped with latest weapons, attacked two Pakistani military posts in Kalash in Chitral district of KPK, Pakistan military’s media wing Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Terrorists’ movement and concentration in Gawardesh, Pitigal, Barg-e-Matel and Batash areas of Nuristan and Kunar provinces of Afghanistan had already been picked up and were timely shared with the Interim Afghan Government.

“The valiant soldiers fought bravely and repulsed the attacks inflicting heavy casualties to the terrorists,” according to the statement. The ISPR confirmed that 12 terrorists were killed and a large number was critically injured while four soldiers of the Pakistan army embraced martyrdom during the intense exchange of fire. Security forces of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our soldiers further strengthen our resolve, the ISPR added. “It is pertinent to mention here that the Interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistan,” the statement added.

The attack on the border check posts comes on the day when the nation is observing Defense and Martyrs Day across Pakistan with a renewed commitment to defend the motherland against all threats. Last week, nine soldiers were killed while five others received injuries in a suicide attack targeting a military convoy in Bannu district of KPK.

The terror activities have risen in the country following the end of ceasefire by the banned outfit Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan with the government last year.

Kuwait MoI pays homage to martyr Hamdan Al-Mutairi

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Talal Khaled Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah led on Wednesday the funeral procession of martyr Hamdan Mohammad Al-Mutairi, one of those who sacrificed themselves for the sake of the homeland during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

Al-Mutairi was identified by the Iraqi authorities after conducting genetic tests on his remains which have recently been handed over to Kuwait.

Attending the funeral service were Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior Lt.-Gen. Anwar Al-Barjas and other senior military and security leaders as well as members of the martyr’s family.

Sheikh Talal conveyed to Al-Mutairi’s family the condolences of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
