Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the International Centre for Diffraction Data co-hosted a workshop on 17-18 October 2023 to identify and prioritize the goals, challenges, and opportunities for critical and emerging technology needs within industry, with an emphasis on leveraging artificial intelligence, data-driven methodologies, and high-throughput and automated workflows for accelerating x-ray-based structural analysis for materials development and manufacturing. Participants, predominantly from industry, gathered in-person at ICDD headquarters in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The findings of this workshop report provide critical input for strategic planning and the convening activities serve as a kickoff for future public-private cooperation.
