Zheng Lab: A Smarter Approach to Designing Metamaterials

July 22, 2025

AI-driven framework creates defect-tolerant materials with complex functionality July 22, 2025 by Marni Ellery| Article Published in UC Berkeley Engineering

Many industrial products — from car bumpers to aerospace panels and medical implants — owe their performance to lightweight, cellular materials. These hard-working synthetics are engineered to meet specific functionality goals, but too often, defects introduced during the fabrication process can lead to subpar performance or even catastrophic failure.

Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has developed a new AI-driven...
