NTU, MIT and Russian scientists develop AI to predict and engineer material properties

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in collaboration with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, have developed a machine learning approach that can predict changes to the properties of materials from straining the material.

This work could lead to the possibility of engineering new materials with tailored properties for potential use in communications, information processing, and energy fields.

In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the authors demonstrated their use of Artificial Intelligence to identify the most energy-efficient strain pathways that could transform diamond into more effective semiconductors.
