Researchers at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam.
It’s not “discovered by AI”. It’s not a novel idea that a model spit out, rather, because that’s not a thing.
They generate large permutations of already know data and combinations of things and have these models validate math and test a massive amount of variables very quickly. It’s just quick sorting, essentially, which is all AI is really good for. Pretty sure they didn’t want to get laughed at for aaying"AI", which is why they used “machine learning” in the title anyway.

Pretty much this. A lot of people nowadays conflate AI to mean LLMs, but this model almost certainly had no “language” part…
