AbstractThis award aims to revolutionize the design and manufacturing of advanced materials using artificial intelligence (AI), by improving the mechanical performance of nanocomposites (advanced materials made by combining different substances at extremely small scales). Research enabled by this award focuses on understanding and controlling a specific type of internal structure in these materials – called amorphous-crystalline interfaces – that can significantly enhance strength, durability, and relia
