Liquid Metal

Liquid metals are being intensely studied for their unique properties and diverse applications, with current research focusing on understanding and predicting their behavior in various contexts. This includes developing advanced computational models, such as neural operators and vision transformers, to simulate complex processes like dealloying and 3D printing, and employing machine learning techniques, including variational autoencoders, to link microstructure to material properties in composites. These efforts aim to accelerate materials development, improve process control, and enable the rational design of liquid metal-based materials for applications ranging from soft robotics to advanced manufacturing.
