Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of
