We change the experimental searches for new inorganic materials more efficient and innovative, with the power of data science. From mathematics and machine learning, we develop an original simulator like a 3D puzzle, which assists us to design periodic crystal structures. Large-scale experimental searches for new compounds are carried out by Na-flux method and proton-driven ion implantation. Out of the newly-investigated compounds, we select the candidate functional materials such as thermoelectric materials, by first-principles calculations and machine learning of literature data. We will then design the best electrodes for the material, to fabricate an application device made of the new material.
