Structuring a Sustainable Future: Visual Technology is Advancing the Discovery & Development of New Materials

We believe that visual technologies will continue to be the crux of advancements in materials science, across nanomaterials and metamaterials, resulting in the transformation of various industrial, medical and consumer applications. Embedded AI will enable materials to reconfigure themselves autonomously in response to their environment. As sensing abilities and algorithms improve, the full potential of navigating the compositional and configurational possibilities of materials will catalyze widespread transformation for optics, biomarker diagnostics, robotics, 3D printing and more.

Visual Data is Propelling a New Wave of Climate Tech

For far too long, sustainability has been viewed by big companies as more of a marketing campaign or non-profit exercise than a direct financial impact on their bottom line. But the tides are, literally, changing and advances in visual data collection, computer vision and AI are at a point where climate tech companies can leverage it to build businesses that provide financial benefit to mitigating climate impact. See more details in Evan Nisselson’s article.
