Mechanical engineering has traditionally relied on physics, mathematics, and empirical knowledge to design and optimize systems. Machine learning (ML) introduces powerful tools that can complement ...

Mechanical metamaterials are sophisticated artificial structures with mechanical properties that are driven by their structure, rather than their composition. While these structures have proved to be ...

Computer vision researchers use machine learning to train computers in visually recognizing objects but very few apply machine learning to mechanical parts, such as gearboxes, bearings, brakes, ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...
