IIT-D develops software for predicting glass compositions

The researchers of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-D) Delhi have developed a first of its kind machine learning software – ‘Python for Glass Genomics’ (PyGGi) for predicting and optimising glass compositions.

The machine learning software which was launched on Friday will allow researchers and companies to easily predict glasses with superior properties such as scratch and crack resistance at the tap of a button.

The main objective behind the PyGGi is to reduce the cost in predicting new glasses for tailored applications and the software will also help in making new glasses cheaper and affordable.
