The Materials Discovery Research Institute’s (MDRI) artificial intelligence-powered strategies for creating new materials to tackle climate change-related challenges are featured in a recent Chicago Tribune story.

Highlighting the institute’s goals to create new materials that will produce clean energy, water, and air, the Nov. 7 news story reports on the MDRI lab’s state-of-the-art equipment and automated processes. The story also covers how MDRI’s innovative lab aims to accelerate groundbreaking discovery.

“We’ve changed the rules of the game,” MDRI Executive Director Stuart Miller said in the news story. “It’s not as easy as saying we’re going from 2,000 samples to 2 million samples a year, but we have that capability.”
