Materials Discovery
It can take over 10 years to come up with new materials. At IBM Research, we’re looking to accelerate the discovery process using new AI methods, robotics, the hybrid cloud, and quantum computers. Our goal is to unlock new properties and materials to address global challenges in years not decades.

Featured work
Project Photoresist
We used our accelerated discovery process to identify and synthesize a novel photoacid generator in less than a year — far quicker than it usually takes.
