About This Topic
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into materials science is transforming the way new materials are discovered, designed, and optimized. Advanced AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, and data-driven modeling, enable researchers to predict material properties, accelerate experimental workflows, and explore vast compositional and structural spaces with unprecedented efficiency. This special issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and innovative applications of AI in the development of metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, energy storage materials, functional coatings, and other advanced materials. Topics of interest include AI-driven material design, high-throughput screening, inverse design methods, property prediction, process optimization, and the integration of experimental and computational data. By bringing together contributions from academia and industry, this special issue will serve as a platform to advance the understanding and practical implementation of AI in materials development, fostering breakthroughs that can address global challenges in energy, sustainability, and technology.
