NSF-Backed Innovation
Driving the next generation of material science research.
The Opportunity
- Working with materials data still relies heavily on human expertise
- Outdated and bespoke data solutions hinder the materials industry
- 99% of materials data is lost, redundant, or lacks business value
- AI development for materials R&D spends 95% of the time cleaning data
