Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming materials design by enabling de novo exploration of immense chemical spaces. Yet a large proportion of AI-generated compositions remain implausible, violating established chemical principles, which limits the reliability and interpretability of generative materials design.

arXiv:2504. 12075v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In the present work, a generative deep learning framework combining a Co-optimized Variational Autoencoder (Co-VAE) with quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) techniques is developed to enable inverse molecular design of fuels.

The inverse design of physical systems governed by partial differential equations is computationally demanding due to the high dimensionality and non-convexity of design spaces. Generative models for inverse design often lack robustness and transferability, whereas evolutionary strategies are robust but struggle in high-dimensional spaces.
arXiv:2605. 17254v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Property prediction and inverse structural design of catalytic materials are typically modeled as two independent tasks: the former predicts target properties from given structures, whereas the latter generates candidate structures according to desired properties.

arXiv:2607. 14652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Topology optimisation (TO) often requires repeated finite element analysis and sensitivity-based material updates, which can be costly when multiple candidate designs are needed under varying physical and design conditions.

arXiv:2607. 14475v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Disordered metamaterials feature microstructures with inherent randomness and irregularity, enabling them to achieve broader property coverage and superior performance unavailable in their regular counterparts.

The vast chemical design space and complex, interdependent design variables make catalyst discovery for targeted properties highly labor- and resource-intensive. Although generative models have emerged as a promising solution, existing approaches are generally limited to single-property conditioning or narrow chemical spaces.
