AI Designed Stronger, Lighter Fiber Networks, Then Researchers Printed Them

Researchers built an AI system that designs fiber-network structures while accounting for whether they can actually be knitted or 3D printed. Its optimized designs were about 50% stronger and 20% lighter than the starting versions, but the evidence comes from laboratory prototypes, not industrial products or long-term durability tests.
