Hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces via microprotrusion-induced stress redistribution In this work, we report hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces that have been engineered to retain superomniphobicity, without coating delamination, even at 400% strain and after thousands of stretch–release cycles. To achieve such hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces, we introduce a novel design – an array

Neural network trained to classify crystal structure errors in MOF and other databases Study serves as a reminder that machine learning models are only as good as the data they are trained on

A machine learning tool that can detect structural errors in MOF databases will help address concerns about the reliability of datasets used in computational materials research.
