"Google DeepMind is to build its first automated science laboratory in the UK, in a boost to the country's artificial intelligence ambitions. The lab will be focused on materials science research, and will involve world-class robotics synthesizing and characterizing hundreds of materials per day, with the goal of significantly shortening the timeline for identifying transformative new materials. Google DeepMind say the lab, to be built in 2026, will help turbocharge scientific discovery, explaining:"
"Discovering new materials is one of the most important pursuits in science, offering the potential to reduce costs and enable entirely new technologies. For example, superconductors that operate at ambient temperature and pressure could allow for low cost medical imaging and reduce power loss in electrical grids. Other novel materials could help us tackle critical energy challenges by unlocking advanced batteries, next-generation solar cells and more efficient computer chips."
Google DeepMind will build its first automated science laboratory in the UK in 2026 focused on materials science research. The facility will use world-class robotics to synthesize and characterize hundreds of materials per day with the goal of significantly shortening timelines for identifying transformative new materials. Potential applications include ambient‑temperature superconductors for cheaper medical imaging and reduced grid losses, advanced batteries, next‑generation solar cells and more efficient computer chips. DeepMind is run by Sir Demis Hassabis, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry last year for AI work on protein structures. The Swiss National Bank left rates at 0%, citing slightly lower recent inflation but unchanged medium‑term pressures.
