Orbital Materials

We’re Orbital Materials, a team of chemists, chemical engineers and AI researchers leveraging AI to accelerate the development of advanced materials and climate technologies for the long term habitability of our planet. At the heart of our pioneering approach lies "LINUS", the largest generative #AI model for chemistry – serving as the backbone of our research laboratory and driving the development of advanced materials and #climatetech. The development of new climate technologies and materials can take decades. But the urgency of addressing climate change and energy security demands a more rapid approach to innovation. That’s where we come in. Follow along on our journey as we revolutionise the way the world uses AI to help address the climate crisis. Want to learn more? Send us a note.

There has been a lot of buzz in the news about how the #AI boom has put greater demand and stress on energy grids, but there is a way we can use AI more efficiently and sustainably that goes far beyond avoiding #grid overload or increasing the cooling capacity and efficiency of hardware. At Orbital Materials we’re doing exactly that. Follow along to see how we’re accelerating #climatetech and the creation of advanced materials with the power of AI to capture carbon and make data centres more sustainable.  https://lnkd.in/g2FvHFi5

We are super proud to be included on the CB Insights AI 100 list amongst other AI companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic,Hugging Face, Runway, Isomorphic Labs and more. AI is transforming the world around us. At Orbital Materials, we’re using generative AI to develop a pipeline of new materials for the energy transition. 

We are excited to announce that we have closed a $16M Series A financing round, led by Radical Ventures with participation from Toyota Ventures and returning Seed leads Fly Ventures and Compound. In addition to this new and continuing support of our investors we are pleased to welcome Dr Thomas McDonald as Chief Scientific Officer, founder of Mosaic Materials and one of the leading scientists in carbon capture materials. This funding will accelerate development of our pipeline of new materials within green chemical processes and the circular economy. The first of these is a carbon removal technology designed to significantly reduce the price of capturing carbon.

Like making unidentified white powders in Princeton, NJ chemistry labs? If you are a talented inorganic chemist with experience in porous materials message me!

Our AI designed materials are now cooking in our new 5,000 sqft lab in Princeton! Great way to start 2024. As an AI guy I've long had the ambition to have an impact on the physical world. That's why I started Orbital Materials. I'm super excited about the next chaper, more to share in a few weeks.
