“From the semiconductors in our daily smartphones to the batteries at the heart of future mobility.”
Every innovation begins with materials.
However, developing a single new material typically requires more than a decade of research—and the immense costs that follow. Today, Data and AI are drastically reducing both that time and those costs.
AI has already become deeply integrated into our daily lives.
Now, this transformation is reaching the front lines of research. Materials research data is becoming the driving force for discovering hidden patterns in material properties, while AI designs a principle that surpass human limitations. Furthermore, Ontology interconnects all this knowledge, transforming it into “more valuable information.”
Looking ahead, Physical AI technologies, such as Self-driving Labs—where robots perform experiments autonomously on behalf of humans—will be actively developed to shape our future. This shift goes beyond merely changing the laboratory landscape; it is set to be a “game changer” that will determine the competitiveness of the entire materials industry.
In this media platform, we aim to explore how these cutting-edge technologies are being implemented in real-world industrial settings and investigate the future technologies we must prepare for.
As we face the massive wave of digital transformation in materials science, we seek to share and discuss various success stories of data-driven materials innovation.
