A new formula allows computers to simulate how new materials behave up to 100,000 times faster than previously possible...

Uh, no. The new materials are not behaving up to 100,000 time faster - the simulation is being calculated up to 100,000 time faster.

So how about: "A new formula allows computers to simulate, up to 100,000 times faster than previously possible, how new materials behave..."
