AI forecasts dissolved oxygen in rural wastewater ponds with under 7% error

“If operators can predict tomorrow's oxygen levels, they can aerate when it actually helps instead of running oxygenation systems around the clock,”

Physics-informed neural network models size-dependent deformation in micro- and nanoscale metals

“At these scales the material does not behave the way textbook models say, and the neural network lets us describe the physics using the data,”

An AI model predicts how stretchy materials wear out

“We wanted a model that can discern the physics of polymer wear from a handful of tests while still being relevant far outside of its training set,”

Self-sensing concrete review of 121 studies maps what controls its strain sensitivity

“Information from self-sensing concretes is difficult to standardize, and a lot of that comes down to how people set up the test, not the material,”

Full-scale Louisiana tests measure how long a flexible, jointless concrete overlay can resist early cracking

“If a thin overlay can sustain more traffic usage before it cracks, that stretches every dollar a state spends on its roads,”
