Megalibraries could reshape AI-driven materials discovery faster than self-driving labs

Scientists may soon stop hunting for new materials—and start designing them to order.

Scientists may soon stop hunting for new materials—and start designing them to order. For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have demonstrated that megalibraries—tools that dramatically accelerate materials discovery—can do more than uncover promising new materials. They can also help scientists intentionally engineer those new materials with specific properties.
