Combining AI and automation towards the prediction of crystal structure landscapes

May 27, 2021

Discovery of crystal structures is often a challenging and time consuming process. The combination of crystal structure prediction (CSP) with high-throughput (HT) crystallization screening methods greatly accelerates the identification and selection of structures with desirable physical properties. While CSP provides valuable insights into a molecule's structural preferences, HT rapidly evaluates hundreds of different crystallisation conditions. Such protocols have for example been used to search for polymorphs of interest. Prof. Andrew Cooper from the Materials Innovation Factory and University of Liverpool describes the state-of-the-art derived from their most recent works on the subject.

Prof. Andrew Cooper is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool, a Fellow of the Royal Society and was awarded the Hughes Medal in 2019.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.
