Metamaterials, AI, and the Road to Invisibility Cloaks
How artificial intelligence is solving the inverse design problem to unlock a new generation of revolutionary materials.
This unique approach is being explored for a vast range of potential applications, from future 6G network technologies and compact optics for augmented reality to solutions for managing extreme temperatures in space, developing advanced biosensors, and creating more efficient solar panels. Metamaterials aren’t tied to one single fabrication method; the choice depends on the scale (nano, micro, meso) and the type of property you’re targeting (optical, mechanical, acoustic, etc). Many will rightly roll their eyes when they hear that metamaterials designed by AI are primarily evaluated against other simulations, and that these models often operate in an idealised 'perfect vacuum' that doesn't translate to the real world.
