Machine and Materials (5Ms to include
methods and money). What about
Intelligence?

Material Intelligence

 What is material intelligence?

 Material intelligence is the ability of materials to sense,
respond, and adapt to their environment. It is a rapidly
emerging field that is being driven by advances in
sensing, actuation, and computation.
 What are the research topics in material
intelligence?
 Some of the research topics in material intelligence are:
a) Design and synthesis of new materials with
intelligent properties: This involves developing new
materials that can sense, respond, and adapt to their
environment in a desired way.

b) Characterization of intelligent materials: This

involves developing new methods for measuring the
properties of intelligent materials, such as their
sensing, actuating, and computational capabilities.

c) Modelling and simulation of intelligent materials:

This involves developing computer models of
intelligent materials that can be used to predict their
behaviour under different conditions.

d) Integration of intelligent materials into systems: This

involves developing methods for integrating
intelligent materials into devices and systems.

e) Applications of intelligent materials: This involves

developing new applications for intelligent
materials.

 Who are the people working in India and abroad

(separately)?
 So, some of the people in India who are working on
material intelligence are:
 a) Professor Rahul Sarpeshkar is a professor of
electrical and computer engineering at the Indian
Institute of Technology Bombay.

b) Dr. Siddhartha Mishra is a research scientist at the

Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

c) Dr. Arvind Kumar is a professor of materials science

and engineering at the Indian Institute of
Technology Madras.

 And some of the people in

abroad who are working on
material intelligence are:

a) Professor Michael Strano is a professor of

chemical engineering at MIT. He is the director
of the Centre for Materials Science and Engineering and the
Centre for Synthetic Biology.

b) Dr. Andrea Ferrari is a professor of materials

science and engineering at the University of
Cambridge.

c) Dr. James Tour is a professor of

chemistry at Rice University.

 How it will help you in your career?

 So, it is going to help me in my career in
following ways:
 a) Develop a deeper understanding of the physical
world.

b) Develop new technologies. Material intelligence is

being used to develop new types of sensors,
actuators, and energy harvesters.

c) Develop new skills. By studying material

intelligence, students can learn how to use machine
learning and artificial intelligence to control and
manipulate materials, etc.

 How will help the society in future?

 So, some of the ways in which material intelligence can
help the society in the future are:
a) Improved healthcare: Material intelligence can be
used to develop new medical devices, such as self-
healing bandages and artificial organs.

b) Sustainable energy: Material intelligence can be

used to develop new materials for energy storage
and production.

c) Advanced manufacturing: Material intelligence can

be used to develop new manufacturing processes
that are more efficient and environmentally friendly.

d) Improved infrastructure: Material intelligence can be

used to develop new materials for roads, bridges,
and buildings that are more durable and resilient to
extreme weather events, etc.
