New agentic framework automates microwave absorber design using AI

Researchers have developed AbsorbEvo, an agentic framework designed for the autonomous inverse design of microwave absorbers. This system translates natural language performance objectives into designs that are then verified through full-wave simulations. AbsorbEvo integrates language reasoning, physics-based prediction, and historical feedback, using a large language model to guide parameter adjustments. The framework demonstrated a 79.17% task success rate on held-out benchmarks, significantly outperforming generic agents and random search. AI

IMPACT This framework could accelerate the design process for specialized materials by enabling natural language-driven optimization.
