Accelerating discovery

There are vast numbers of undiscovered molecules and materials that offer solutions to the challenges in health care, the environment, energy and other areas facing our world. Using artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and lab automation, self-driving labs (SDLs) are teaming up with human scientists to accelerate the rate at which we can solve these challenges.
