Our Contribution
Materials for Extreme Environments
In an era defined by rapidly advancing technology and national security challenges requiring increasingly prevalent operation in extreme environments, groundbreaking materials developments are needed. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, researchers at APL aim to reimagine and accelerate the targeted discovery of materials tailored to withstand and perform under the most demanding conditions, ensuring enhanced capabilities in extreme environments, such as space exploration, deep-sea exploration, hypersonic flight, and resource-constrained scenarios. From materials that maintain optical and structural integrity at high temperatures, to superconductors with higher transition temperature and increased manufacturability, to novel structural materials fabricated from in situ resources, we are working to develop, predict, make, and measure mission-enabling materials at an accelerated pace.
