Over a decade of work pursued by Duke Engineering researchers to computationally predict recipes for useful materials will soon help fuel a new AI-driven cloud laboratory that will transform materials innovation. Led by Georgia Tech, a new Programmable Cloud Laboratory will leverage AI, simulation and autonomous experimentation to dramatically accelerate the process of materials discovery. The cloud laboratory will enable researchers nationwide to conduct AI-driven experiments using the Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility’s materials and manufacturing equipment. His group has spent over a decade building and maintaining the Automatic-FLOW for Materials Discovery database, or aflow.org. This rich platform will integrate computational discovery with physical experimentation to help researchers more rapidly identify, evaluate and manufacture promising new materials.
