GNoME’s discovery of 2.2 million materials would be equivalent to about 800 years’ worth of knowledge and demonstrates an unprecedented scale and level of accuracy in predictions

A-Lab is a closed-loop system, meaning it can make decisions about what to do next without human input. Once given its mission, it can select and mix the starting ingredients, inject admixtures during heating, prepare the final product, and extract it into an X-ray diffractometer for analysis. The lab’s AI will use that analysis to inform future attempts. And it can manage 50 to 100 times as many samples per day than a typical human researcher.
