Composing nanomaterials—open-source platform unites AI and automated synthesis

LMU researcher Professor Alexander Urban and his team have developed a tool that could revolutionize the design of new materials. Synthesizer is a platform that combines automated chemical synthesis, high-throughput characterization, and data-driven modeling. The goal is to control the growth of nanocrystals with unprecedented precision, thereby creating materials with tailor-made optical properties. The results of their work have now been published by the LMU team in Advanced Materials.
