Nano breakthrough: NCSU technology uses AI to accelerate quantum dot production
by Matt Shipman — December 15, 2020 . RALEIGH – A new technology, called Artificial Chemist 2.0, allows users to go from requesting a custom quantum dot to completing the relevant R&D and beginning manufacturing in less than an hour. The tech is completely autonomous, and uses artificial intelligence (AI) and automated robotic systems to perform multi-step chemical synthesis and analysis. Quantum dots are colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, which are used in applications such as LED displays and solar cells. “When we rolled out the first version of Artificial Chemist, it was a proof ...
