AI designs an ultralight carbon nanomaterial that's as strong as steel
Using machine learning, a team of researchers in Canada has created ultrahigh-strength carbon nanolattices, resulting in a material that's as strong as carbon steel, but only as dense as Styrofoam.
To quickly recap, nanomaterials are engineered by arranging atoms or molecules in precise patterns, much like constructing structures with extremely tiny LEGO blocks. The researchers collaborated with a team in South Korea, and applied what's known as the multi-objective Bayesian optimization machine learning algorithm. Its role was to predict the best possible geometries for enhancing stress distribution and improving the strength-to-weight ratio to arrive at a novel nano-architecture.
