An AI tool developed by researchers from TU Delft can identify and create fabrication-ready and durable metamaterials, which are capable of concealing objects in plain sight and mimicking bone tissue. This breakthrough paves the way for the development of devices with unprecedented functionalities. The findings have been published in Advanced Materials.
Professor Amir Zadpoor of the Department of Biomechanical Engineering explains that their approach involves engineering materials with desired properties, resulting in the creation of metamaterials that are a hybrid of structure and material.
The material discovery process involves solving an “inverse problem” to find the geometry that produces the desired properties. To address this challenge, TU Delft researchers have developed deep-learning models that can solve these inverse problems.
Dr. Helda Pahlavani, the first author, highlights the limitations of previous solutions to inverse problems and emphasizes the importance of their AI tool in overcoming these challenges.
