Google DeepMind Incorporates Almost 400,000 Additional Compounds into Berkeley Lab’s Materials Project – Reported by Lauren Biron

As reported in Nature today, the research groups of Professor Ceder and Persson collaborated on the creation of an Autonomous Laboratory for the Synthesis of New Inorganic Materials. Using integration with the Materials Project (materialsproject.org), text-mined synthesis knowledge from over 5Million research papers, and data from Google Deepmind, the A-lab demonstrated the autonomous synthesis of…

New discovery makes it easier to design synthetic proteins that rival their natural counterparts.

New discovery makes it easier to design synthetic proteins that rival their natural counterparts. In a recent publication in Nature, research led by the Ting Xu group demonstrates for the first time a synthetic materials that can selectively transport protons across membranes at rates similar to those found in transmembrane proteins. Natural proton channels require…
