But diffusion models underperform at directly generating realistic 3D shapes because there are not enough 3D data to train them.
One of the researchers' key insights was that generative AI models, such as diffusion models, could be used for ensemble climate projections.
"For example, it influences diffusion and thermal properties of clays and claystones. Such properties are relevant for geothermal energy as well as host rocks in nuclear waste repositories," says Kühn.
The speed of the charging processes plays an important role here: slow charging favours phase transitions and oxygen loss, while fast charging leads to lattice distortions and inhomogeneous lithium diffusion.
