42. World's Most Advanced Prosthetics

The company used generative design software to create a breathable, lightweight foam liner for prosthetics, optimizing material placement for structural strength while removing unnecessary material.

“entropology, remember, generative design, helps them know where material is supposed to be and remove it where it doesn't have to be so that it can be more breathable. It can help them generate the shell, the liner, all these shapes so that they're structurally strong enough, minimize the amount of materials so they're lighter and also more breathable.”

Engineering & simulationsuggested 12 that met all the criteria

Researchers used a machine learning system to predict optimal chemical compositions for new materials, suggesting specific samples that met multiple conflicting property criteria like stiffness and strength.

“they automate. They have a machine learning algorithm that will take from you, the user or developer or chemist. Parameters such as what materials you want to experiment with. And then what material properties you want to have. And then it keeps running experiments based on, um, the chemical composition of everything you gave and comes up with suggestions.”
