Meet the Autonomous Lab of the Future

Published on September 27, 2023

Berkeley Lab's A-Lab, an advanced automated lab, is harnessing robots and artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new materials. Led by Yan Zeng, the A-Lab aims to streamline the validation of computationally predicted materials, with an initial focus on batteries and energy storage. The unique system, which began operations in February 2023, offers a closed-loop, adaptive approach to research, distinguishing it from conventional manufacturing automation. A-Lab's adoption of solid-state synthesis ensures a broader range of material possibilities, making it a game-changer in the field.
