Researchers have developed a new method called Neural Operator-enabled Topology-informed Evolutionary Strategy (NOTES) to improve the inverse design of physical systems governed by partial differential equations. This approach combines a DeepONet neural operator with the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) to reduce design dimensionality and enhance efficiency. Applied to nanophotonic beam-deflectors and structural optimization, NOTES demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods, achieving high efficiency and improved compliance. AI
