New algorithm can discover materials with unusual characteristics—including invisibility

To design new devices, scientists need a way to quickly discover new material properties. Northeastern professor Yongmin Liu has developed a machine learning algorithm for quickly discovering materials that have desirable qualities—such as invisibility.

Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak could become reality thanks to a Northeastern professor’s algorithm

To design a real-life invisibility cloak, scientists need a material that allows them to control how light moves along its surface without being reflected or absorbed.Northeastern professor Yongmin Liu has developed a machine learning algorithm for quickly discovering materials that have desirable qualities—such as invisibility.
