GAMBIT: AI-Guided Discovery of New Permanent Magnets
A four-institution research project uses a closed loop of computation, synthesis, magnetic testing, and machine learning to search for better permanent-magnet materials.
Why it surfacedGAMBIT turns materials discovery into an iterative loop: models propose borides, carbides, and intermetallics; laboratories make and measure them; every result improves the next prediction. Its unusually concrete path from university research to electric motors, HVAC equipment, and commercial manufacturability gives the AI story something physical to do.

Ice Does Not Count
August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.
This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
