Gov. Hochul touts Radical AI's first-in-New York autonomous materials science lab at Brooklyn Navy Yard * Brooklyn Paper

"A cutting-edge materials science company is bringing a major new research operation to Brooklyn - and marking a forest for New York State in the process. Governor Kathy Hochul announced this week that Radical AI, a fast-growing materials science laboratory at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The company plans to renovate and repurpose space in Building 20, transforming it into a state-of-the-art headquarters and AI-driven research facility capable of running roughly 100 experiments per day."

"The $4 million project is expected to create 115 new high-paying jobs in materials science, artificial intelligence and advanced engineering. The expansion is supported by up to $2 million in performance-based tax credits through Empire State Development's Excelsior Jobs Program. Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said the project highlights the strength of New York City's innovation ecosystem. "This project brings together artificial intelligence, advanced research, and high-quality job creation in a field that touches nearly every sector of the global economy," Knight said. "With support from Empire State Development, Radical AI is helping ensure that the next wave of materials discovery and commercialization happens right here in New York City.""

Radical AI will renovate space in Building 20 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard into a state-of-the-art headquarters and a fully autonomous, AI-driven research facility capable of running roughly 100 experiments per day. The $4 million expansion is expected to create 115 high-paying jobs in materials science, artificial intelligence, and advanced engineering. The project receives up to $2 million in performance-based tax credits through Empire State Development's Excelsior Jobs Program. The autonomous laboratory combines AI, robotics, and advanced chemistry to dramatically accelerate the traditionally slow process of materials discovery and to enable continuous, high-throughput experimentation for faster commercialization.
