What if we could bring a secret in materials to life? One that is shared between aero-engines and invisibility cloaking, developing materials that surpass their original properties—making lightweight materials robust, creating static structures that dynamically respond to their environment and building materials that seamlessly blends into our bodies. Dr Minh-Son Pham will share how we in the next 20 years might teach materials to learn and react to their surrounding environment, sharing the intersection between advance manufacturing and artificial intelligence. By being inspired by nature, we can create materials that can learn, self-optimise and sense their surrounding environment. What might be the future limit of self-learning and adjusting materials?
