The National Academies' Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) hosts an annual workshop. In 2025, an ad hoc planning committee will organize to conduct a public workshop that presents a synopsis of recent research into physical learning in materials, e.g., the integration of sensing and adaptation in situ to create materials that respond to new, never-seen environments or perform computations.

·2026
New advances in materials research are unlocking the potential of materials that learn. These materials - whether chemical networks that "decide" on their own, biohybrid materials, or tiny robot swarms - can have the ability to sense and adapt to new environments, perform intelligent tasks such as i...
