Generative AI for polymer design passes lab tests with a new dielectric material The words on this page mean something because they are assembled in a particular order and follow the complex rules of grammar and syntax. Creating new chemical polymers follows a similar kind of structure, with rules about what elements and groups of atoms go together and how to assemble them to make sense. Thinking about polymers in that way has led Georgia Tech materials scientists to create new generative artificial intelligence tools that are like Claude or ChatGPT for new materials.

Polymers that crawl like worms: How materials can develop direction without being told where to go Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply fluctuate at different intensities can spontaneously develop directional, persistent motion when densely packed – even though nothing in the system points them in any particular direction. This "entropic tug of war," driven by fundamental physical constraints, could help explain how DNA organizes and moves inside living cells, and may lead to new materials. The study was currently published in Physical Review X.

A palindromic triplex architecture for DNA-templated synthesis designed for the core of a synthetic ribosome We demonstrate a triplex-based architecture for DNA-templated synthesis. This study is motivated by progress towards the development of a synthetic ribosome – autonomous, genetically programmable, molecular machinery for synthesis. Such schemes for the creation and evolution of chemically diverse DNA-tagged chemica
