Robots and AI hunt for new materials at A-Lab (VIDEO)
Caption
Scientists have computationally predicted hundreds of thousands of novel materials that could be promising for new technologies – but testing to see whether any of those materials can be made in reality is a slow process. Enter A-Lab, which uses robots guided by artificial intelligence to speed up the process. A-Lab could help identify and fast-track materials for several research areas, including batteries, energy storage, solar cells, fuel cells, and more.
