Expected benefits

Historically the discovery and development of new materials has followed an iterative process of synthesis, measurement, and modeling, suitable integration of advanced characterization, robotics, and machine-learning provides an opportunity for radically accelerating the material design process. The CFN has an established record of discovering nanomaterials by applying new materials synthesis strategies, advanced characterization, and machine-learning. Integrating these efforts will enable autonomous platforms for iteratively exploring material parameter spaces, which have potential to revolutionize materials science by uncovering fundamental links between synthetic pathways, material structure, and functional properties.
