Predicting Structure

The video discusses the inherent trial and error component in material science, especially when dealing with complex atomic structures. While simple patterns can be explained with existing calculations, complex structures pose challenges due to the numerous possible configurations and the need for precise energy calculations. The empirical approach remains crucial in material science due to these limitations.
