Recent demonstrations of AI-directed automation may herald a new world for drug and materials discovery.

After making gradual inroads in drug and materials discovery in recent years, artificial intelligence is suddenly appearing in a new light. Autonomous labs that link AI-based data analysis to robotic synthesis and validation are being demonstrated in both academia and industry. These labs prefigure a new work environment in which machines perform many of the traditional functions of researchers. Proponents argue that this self-driven R&D environment will enhance the efforts of multidisciplinary scientists, who will maintain ultimate control. Chemical and drug firms are taking a serious look at what may be the lab of the future.

Closed-Loop Bayesian Optimization for the Synthesis of Amine-Grafted Resins for Direct Air Capture

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 remains limited by adsorbent performance. Adsorption kinetics are a particularly underexplored lever to improve adsorbents, despite their significance in realistic processes. Today, the profile of 'the' optimal DAC adsorbent displaying high CO2 uptake and selectivity as well as fast sorption kinetics remains unknown.
