AI for faster Materials Discovery

Discover better materials faster with Matterhorn today

Matterhorn in 3 steps

This 5 minute tutorial demonstrates the three fundamental steps of experimental material discovery:

  1. Upload data and specify variables
  2. Build Machine Learning models for estimation
  3. Calculate the next best experiment with Bayesian Optimisation

Get a feeling for what data-driven material development can feel like. Understand the advantages and limitations of Machine Learning and learn how Bayesian Optimisation can work in your laboratory.

Machine Learning for Experimentation does not have to be hard

Matterhorn streamlines the integration of Machine Learning in your experimentation process

  • The more the better! Most labs will already have a dataset to build from. Importantly, the data needs to be of high quality, i.e. low noise. Ideally, it is composed of continuous variables and few dimensions, as categorical variables are generally harder to optimise.

  • Matterhorn is indifferent to how much Machine Learning capabilities your lab currently offers. Feel free to bring your own Data Scientist, but if you are in the early stages of ML-driven material science we are happy to support you with recruiting or providing consultation.

  • 03What is Bayesian Optimisation for Material Design?

    Bayesian Optimisation is an algorithm that guarantees the statistically most efficient path to optimal material performance. It uses the uncertainty in the solution space to decide which experiment to run next.
