AI4SCIENCE

Our AI4Science effort begins with mapping the universe of small molecules

Where we leverage the latest compute hardware and computational chemistry and physics software to build the world’s largest molecular property database. Then we train advanced AI models with this molecular property database, literature and our team of world-class domain experts to both screen and generate new molecules.
‍
These new molecules are then synthesized in our Electrolyte Foundry and then formulated in electrolytes and tested and validated in actual cells.

Research

“Electrolytes for advanced batteries have been determined by trial and error. Up to the present there has never been a viable electrolyte solvent, salt or additive first identified by a computer. This has to change! The Molecular Universe project promises to actually find viable and improved electrolyte components. I am very excited by this project!”
