ElastiCrys project has started

Our new project will use machine learning to explore the elastic properties of molecular crystals.

The ElastiCrys project started on 12 October 2026. Led by Ivor Lončarić and funded by the Croatian Science Foundation, the project will develop machine-learning methods to predict the elastic properties of molecular crystals.

The team will screen crystal structures to create an open, searchable database of elastic properties, identify unusual mechanical responses, and validate promising predictions through experiments.
