INDUSTRIES

Every industry is a materials industry.

Ten domains where a new material changes the economics. One real material class per domain, because claims should be checkable.

01

Energy Storage

Next-generation batteries are gated by the electrolyte: it must conduct lithium ions fast, resist dendrites, and survive processing. The platform screens candidate conductors against ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window, and sinterability — returning ranked structures with proposed synthesis routes for cell-level validation.

Pharmaceuticals

A drug's solubility, shelf life, and patent position depend on which crystal form it takes. The platform predicts polymorph landscapes and relative stabilities for a given API, flagging late-appearing forms before they surprise you in manufacturing.

Semiconductors

Scaling logic and memory needs gate dielectrics that combine high permittivity with wide band gaps and clean interfaces to silicon — the same screening approach extends to candidate superconducting compounds, where the target is critical temperature and current density instead of permittivity. The platform screens oxide chemistries for stability against Si — narrowing thousands of candidates to a testable handful.

Clean Energy

Green hydrogen, carbon capture, and solar all live or die on catalyst and absorber material cost and durability. The platform predicts adsorption energies and overpotentials across alloy and oxide spaces for electrocatalysts, and band-gap/defect tolerance for photovoltaic absorber candidates, surfacing earth-abundant compositions that approach incumbent-material performance.

Manufacturing

Turbines, aircraft engines, tooling, and additive processes demand alloys that hold strength at temperatures where conventional metallurgy gives out. The platform explores multi-component alloy spaces for phase stability, creep resistance, and printability.

Construction

Cement alone is roughly 8% of global CO₂. The platform screens supplementary cementitious materials and alternative clinker chemistries for strength development, durability, and locally available feedstocks.

Biomaterials

Implants, scaffolds, and drug-delivery vehicles need materials the body accepts on schedule. The platform predicts degradation kinetics, mechanical match to tissue, and cytotoxicity risk for candidate polymer chemistries.

MATERIAL CLASSbiocompatible polymersdegradation half-life

Specialty Chemicals

Solvents, lubricants, and electrolyte additives are formulated by intuition and iteration. The platform predicts viscosity, conductivity, and stability windows across cation–anion combinations, cutting formulation cycles from months to weeks.

Space

Satellite and spacecraft electronics have to survive cosmic radiation without single-event upsets, with no way to service them once in orbit. The platform screens candidate semiconductor and dopant structures for radiation tolerance and thermal-cycling survival, alongside the same lightweight structural alloys used for launch vehicles.

Defence

Armor systems trade hardness against toughness and areal weight — every gain in stopping power usually costs mobility. The platform screens ceramic and composite candidates across that tradeoff space, alongside the extreme-heat alloys hypersonic and reentry applications need.
