The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has made a significant breakthrough in nanopore research by introducing STRONG (STring Representation Of Nanopore Geometry), a novel language that encodes nanopore shapes as character sequences. This innovative tool enables machine learning models to predict nanopore properties accurately, paving the way for advanced applications like gas separation. By assigning distinct letters to atomic configurations, STRONG provides a detailed understanding of nanopore geometries, facilitating better prediction of properties and efficient data analysis. The integration of STRONG with neural networks enhances the accuracy of property predictions, representing a major leap forward in materials science and computational research.
