Checking the quality of materials just got easier with a new AI tool
Advancing technologies like batteries, electronics, and pharmaceuticals relies on discovering and verifying new materials, a process traditionally slowed by costly, time-consuming quality checks using specialized instruments. While AI has accelerated material discovery by identifying promising candidates from vast databases, MIT engineers have now developed a new AI tool that streamlines the verification process, potentially reducing […]
Physics-based machine learning could unlock better 3D-printed materials
An NSF-funded initiative led by Lehigh University’s Parisa Khodabakhshi is advancing machine learning models that integrate physical laws to accelerate the design of high-performance alloys for aerospace, automotive, and healthcare applications. This effort complements additive manufacturing—also known as 3D printing—which constructs objects layer by layer using materials like metals, polymers, and biomaterials, offering a powerful […]
