Researchers Reveal New Method For Calculating Mechanical Properties Of Solids Using Machine Learning

A research team from Skoltech introduced a new method which takes advantage of machine learning for studying the properties of polycrystals, composites, and multiphase systems. It attained high accuracy, nearly as good as that of quantum-mechanical methods, which are only applicable to materials with less than a few hundred atoms. The new method also benefits from active learning on local atomic environments. The
