Material Progress: Developing AI's Scientific Intuition, with Orbital Materials' Jonathan & Tim
Orbital Materials is testing whether AI can turn materials discovery into a predictable engineering loop, with generative models, force prediction, and a wet lab narrowing candidates until roughly 90% of pre-synthesis questions are answered.With less than $40 million raised, it is targeting data-center thermal-management and CO2-capture materials, but regeneration economics, scale limits, and unconfirmed scientific results—including a potassium-channel mechanism—remain key milestones to monitor.
