Democratizing experimental benchmarking of materials discovery campaigns through a low-cost, self-driving optics demo

Self-driving labs are the future; however, the capital and expertise required can be daunting. We introduce the idea of a constrained, high-dimensional, multi-objective optimization task for less than $100, a square foot of desk space, and an hour of total setup time from the shopping cart to th...

CLSLabs-Liquid extends the minimal working example of self-driving laboratories to liquid handling and optical spectroscopy

Materials acceleration platforms have the potential to reduce the cost- and time-to-market of new materials from 20 million USD and 20 years to as little as 1 million USD and 1 year; however, the capital and expertise are often significant. Previously, we introduced the idea of a minimal working...
