Using AI to Accelerate Discovery of Efficient Catalytic Materials, "Deep Principle Technology" Raises Nearly $10 Million in Seed Funding Led by Linear Capital
By Chen Sida | Edited by Deng Yongyi Source: Intelligent Emergence From household daily chemical products to high-efficiency catalysis for energy use, nearly every aspect of life and production depends on emerging materials. The old "needle in a haystack" trial-and-error approach can no longer meet today's materials R&D demands. But the AI boom sparked by the large model wave is bringing "AI alchemy" closer to reality.
