LEIA: Learned Environment for Interactive Architected Materials
Haiqian Yang, Yuan Cao, Markus J. Buehler
World models have enabled interactive exploration of game environments and robotic manipulation, but physical engineering remains beyond their reach: real materials exhibit nonline…
A Category-Theoretic Framework from Biological Mechanics to Engineered Stimulus-Response Systems
Lee Marom, Skylar Tibbits, Gioele Zardini +1
Natural materials achieve adaptive behavior through hierarchical organization and coupled mechanisms across scales. Their translation into engineering, however, remains largely heu…
Autonomous Agents Coordinating Distributed Discovery Through Emergent Artifact Exchange
Fiona Y. Wang, Lee Marom, Subhadeep Pal +4
We present ScienceClaw + Infinite, a framework for autonomous scientific investigation in which independent agents conduct research without central coordination, and any contributo…
AI-Guided Human-In-the-Loop Inverse Design of High Performance Engineering Structures
Dat Quoc Ha, Md Ferdous Alam, Markus J. Buehler +2
Inverse design tools such as Topology Optimization (TO) can achieve new levels of improvement for high-performance engineered structures. However, widespread use is hindered by hig…
Generative Artificial Intelligence Extracts Structure-Function Relationships from Plants for New Materials
Rachel K. Luu, Jingyu Deng, Mohammed Shahrudin Ibrahim +4
Large language models (LLMs) have reshaped the research landscape by enabling new approaches to knowledge retrieval and creative ideation. Yet their application in discipline-speci…
Autonomous Inorganic Materials Discovery via Multi-Agent Physics-Aware Scientific Reasoning
Alireza Ghafarollahi, Markus J. Buehler
Conventional machine learning approaches accelerate inorganic materials design via accurate property prediction and targeted material generation, yet they operate as single-shot mo…
