Outlook observes advances in self-driving laboratories that accelerate materials discovery, suggesting significant impact on commercialization.
The rise of self-driving laboratories (SDLs) marks a transformative era in materials science. By leveraging automation and machine learning, SDLs provide unprecedented opportunities to rapidly explore complex chemical landscapes and accelerate discoveries. In this Outlook, we explore the growth of the global SDL ecosystem in materials science, describe recent advances, and discuss how SDLs are poised to drive more discoveries and accelerate commercialization.
