In this tutorial, we explore the capabilities of the pymatgen library for computational materials science using Python. We begin by constructing crystal structures such as silicon, sodium chloride, ...

In early 2024, LNP asked me to evaluate AI garden designs from two different sources for a supplement on AI. Since AI has grown by leaps and bounds since that time, I decided to revisit the topic.

If these aren’t really performance bonuses, then the justification for them falls apart. If they are performance bonuses, then we’re doing them wrong. Jodi Smith, currently the executive director of ...

In aerospace composite structure design, engineers need to clearly understand and evaluate the tradeoffs between total weight and design for manufacturability (DFM). For example, composite structures ...

Functionally Gradient (Graded) Materials (FGMs) represent a class of advanced materials characterized by spatial distributions in composition and structure, resulting in corresponding changes in their ...

Apple is investigating generative AI to accelerate its custom chip design, according to remarks by hardware chief Johny Srouji last month. Srouji outlined the company's interest in AI-assisted chip ...

The source code is for the method presented in [1,2]. It promotes a new boundary evaluation method for micro-geometries in the form of lattices. The basic idea is to replace the nodes within a lattice ...
