In 2018, Liangbing Hu, a materials scientist at the University of Maryland, developed a method to transform regular wood into a material stronger than steel. At first, it appeared to be another eye-catching discovery that might never leave the...
A machine learning algorithm was used to optimize nano-architected materials for the first time, resulting in a surprisingly strong yet light materialDALL-EBy leveraging machine learning, a Canadian research team has developed ultrahigh-strength carbon nanolattices that rival the strength of carbon steel while remaining as lightweight as Styrofoam.Last month, the team emphasized that AI had,...
Credit: Unsplash.Engineers at Washington State University have drawn inspiration from the intricate structure of trees and bones to devise a technique that enables the 3D printing of two different types of steel within a single circular layer. This groundbreaking approach results in the creation of a bimetallic material that exhibits a remarkable strength increase...
