The announcement sounds ambitious.
Discovered Materials is on the hunt for novel materials to build more efficient chips, because that’s not what every other materials science startup is doing. They’re using AI and machine learning, because of course they are. The $9 million funding will help them expand their team and build a database of materials properties, because that’s exactly what the world was missing. Novel materials are the answer to all our chip-related prayers, allegedly. And we’ve only been hearing that for the past 20 years.
