Short description about the volume:


In the rapidly evolving field of materials science, the integration of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) promises to fundamentally transform the development and analysis of nanomaterials. This edited collection will offer new insights into one of the most exciting intersections of technology and engineering, examining the groundbreaking potential of AI and ML in the discovery, design, and utilization of next-generation nanomaterials. By thoroughly investigating how machine learning and AI algorithms are reshaping nanomaterial design, the book will address a critical gap in existing literature. While previous studies have concentrated on the theoretical aspects of nanotechnology, this volume will uniquely demonstrate how innovations in mechanical engineering, particularly concerning nanomaterials, can be accelerated through computational tools.

The book will feature contributions from numerous experts, highlighting state-of-the-art techniques, practical applications, and case studies that illustrate the societal impact of AI and ML. Organized into coherent sections, it will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including the significance of predictive modelling, optimization algorithms, data-driven design, and the role of AI in the experimental discovery of nanomaterials. Each section will integrate advanced methods with industry-relevant applications, offering valuable insights for researchers, postgraduate students, and practitioners.

With its multidisciplinary approach and focus on both theoretical and practical elements, next-generation nanomaterials serve as an indispensable resource for those interested in how AI and ML will shape the future of nanomaterials engineering and innovation. This book will be essential for those at the forefront of materials science and engineering, whether for academic research, professional development, or advanced training.
