In A-lab, we discover new materials autonomously and fast. Excited to see our paper published on Nature today! Really honored to be a member of A-lab team Ceder Group. Thanks to Nathan Szymanski and Yan Zeng for leading the project! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to share the performance of our A-lab in its initial materials discovery task, published in nature today. Can’t wait to discuss this work and exchange new ideas with experts in lab automation at the upcoming #Scialog and #ACSSpring2024 nature.com/articles/s4158…

👉 Major AI progress out of Berkeley Lab with Google To transform the future of superconductors, power systems, electric vehicles, and other clean energy tech — we need new materials. A new algorithm to predict them + an AI-driven robotic lab to make them aims to do just that.

Developing new materials for applications like superconductors is notoriously time-consuming. But with AI trained on data from Berkeley Lab's Materials Project, Google DeepMind predicted the structures of 2 million new materials, as covered in TIME: time.com/6340681/deepmi…
