Technical approach

As reported

Autonomous synthesis

Robots run experiments 24/7

Robots mix, heat, cool samples with real-time data collection. No human steers each run.

AI goal-setting

AI designs next experiment

AI converts material goals into parameters, tests them, refines based on results.

Closed-loop learning

Data improves discovery speed

Standardized data lets AI learn better models each run, accelerating discovery.

Material-agnostic

Works for alloys, polymers, more

Started with aerospace alloys; same platform applies to batteries, semiconductors.
