Published purpose

Lumiant is developing Xaedra, a high-performance computing system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict materials properties from atomic structure data, and has a simple to use user interface so users can search for new materials based on properties required in an application. Traditional approaches to materials discovery involves repeated trial-and-error with uncertain outcomes. Researches using Xaedra can rapidly identify high probability candidate materials the worked on in the lab. Starting with pure inorganic crystal structures and moving to alloys and other widely used materials, Lumiant aims develop a platform that transforms materials discovery and solves industry's need for 'faster, better, cheaper' materials.
