Artificial intelligence and automated laboratory infrastructure are massively accelerating the development of new chemical catalysts. With these tools, researchers at ETH Zurich are developing catalysts for efficiently and cost-effectively synthesizing the energy source methanol from CO2.

Catalysts are chemistry's hard-working little helpers. They accelerate reactions and reduce the energy required for a reaction to take place. The more specific and effective a catalyst is, the more effectively any undesirable side reactions are suppressed.

Toward fully autonomous closed-loop molecular discovery – A case study on JAK targets

Bridging AI and self-driving laboratories, we introduce the first fully-automated, closed-loop molecular discovery cycle, exemplified by the identification of novel JAK inhibitors. With minimal human intervention, we combined AI-driven molecular design and retrosynthesis with IBM’s synthesis automation system RoboRXN and Arctoris’ Ulysses platform for automated in-vitro screening.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins with transition metal-based catalysts: practical insights from screening to production of APIs

Selective hydrogenation plays a critical role in modern synthetic chemistry, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, where the production of chiral molecules with high enantiomeric purity is essential for the efficacy and safety of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
