Had a great time attending the ACL Scialog Research Corporation for Science Advancement meeting last week! Interesting discussions about the future of lab automation in chemical sciences. We need more low cost and ‘reproducible’ automation technologies for ‘real’ chemistry.

It was great to participate as a panelist at the The White House Roundtable on the Semiconductor Materials Accelerator, particularly discussing autonomous labs and accelerated materials discovery under the #CHIPS and Science Act.

In November 2023, a paper was published in Nature reporting the discovery of over 40 novel materials using an autonomous laboratory guided by AI. However, researchers were quick to question the autonomous lab’s results. chemistryworld.com/news/are-we-ru…
