Robot revolutionises study of new molecules

This software test many chemical reactions simultaneously and may lead to faster drug discovery

18-Jul-2018

Key points from article :

University of Glasgow chemists have trained an artificially-intelligent robot.

AI robot automatically explores a very large number of chemical reactions.

Machine-learning algorithms can uncover new reactions and molecules.

Could lower costs for discovering new drug molecules.

Already discovered a range of previously unknown new molecules and reactions.

The study was published in the Nature journal.
