What it sells
AI scientists to discover materials for the semiconductor industry.
Business model breakdown
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
AI chip heat flux (~140 W/cm2) limiting performance; discovering a material and getting it to fab takes years and hundreds of millions of dollars.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
AI agents simulate, synthesize and test candidate materials (e.g. thermal interface materials), compressing months of lab work into days; open-sourced Material Discovery Bench.
