Accelerating scientific discovery with AI
Several researchers have taken a broad view of scientific progress over the last 50 years and come to the same troubling conclusion: Scientific productivity is declining. It’s taking more time, more funding, and larger teams to make discoveries that once came faster and cheaper. Although a variety of explanations have been offered for the slowdown,…
Microsoft Discovery: How AI Agents Are Accelerating Scientific Discoveries
Scientific research has traditionally been a slow and careful process. Scientists spend years testing ideas and doing experiments. They read thousands of papers and try to connect different pieces of knowledge. This approach has worked for a long time but usually takes years to complete. Today, the world faces urgent problems like climate change and…
Accelerating silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing with big data platforms
For decades, we heard silicon was the only answer. However, while the world’s largest fabs were busy taping out silicon, the communities of engineers and scientists working on non-silicon technologies continued pushing forward. Compound semiconductors—semiconductors made from two or more periodic table elements—include indium phosphide (InP), silicon nitride (SiN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), indium…
Meet AI Co-Scientist: A Multi-Agent System Powered by Gemini 2.0 for Accelerating Scientific Discovery
Biomedical researchers face a significant dilemma in their quest for scientific breakthroughs. The increasing complexity of biomedical topics demands deep, specialized expertise, while transformative insights often emerge at the intersection of diverse disciplines. This tension between depth and breadth creates substantial challenges for scientists navigating an exponentially growing volume of publications and specialized high-throughput technologies….
