Researchers have explored the use of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to understand crystallographic fracture planes. The study investigated whether these models could infer Miller indices, a representation of crystallographic planes, from visual data and assess the applicability of this representation to fracture images. Experiments showed that MLLMs could reliably perform this latent inference in idealized scenarios and correctly identify when the representation was not suitable for real-world fracture images across various materials.
