We believe deep learning will have a transformational impact on the natural sciences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI emulators can go beyond long-standing speed-accuracy trade-offs in molecular simulation, achieving high accuracy at orders-of-magnitude increased speed. The consequences of this approach, coined \u201cfifth paradigm\u201d, are far-reaching, from the discovery of new drugs to the design of new materials, and will dramatically improve our ability to model and predict natural phenomena over widely varying scales of space and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All of our projects have highly ambitious mission-driven goals to drive impact at scale. Whether that be through pushing the boundaries of AI to design and optimise new molecules for drug discovery, through to the development of models that will underpin advances in our ability to discover new materials with desired properties, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
