CuspAI<\/a>, an Amsterdam-based AI company building a platform for next-generation materials, has secured<\/a> $30 million in funding from leading European and U.S. venture capital funds. CuspAI will partner with Meta, which provides data and computing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waarom dit belangrijk is:<\/h2>

We need not only innovative ways to generate energy to address the climate crisis but also new materials that capture carbon, for example.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Streamline design process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CuspAI was founded by Max Welling, a professor of AI at the University of Amsterdam. The company uses generative AI, deep learning, and molecular simulation to streamline the design process of materials. Their platform works like a search engine for materials. Users can enter specific properties and request new materials.<\/p>\n\n\n

SeaO\u2082 harnesses the power of the ocean to tackle the climate problem<\/div>
Working on the climate problem while restoring the ocean: sounds ambitious. It is the mission of Dutch startup SeaO\u2082, which filters CO\u2082 from the sea.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Carbon capture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The team thinks AI-designed materials will be especially useful in combating the climate crisis. Indeed, greenhouse gases can bind to the new materials so that they can be stored later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welling: “Imagine a search engine, not just for existing materials, but for all potential molecules and materials. Our AI can generate and evaluate new materials on demand. For example, you might ask for a material that selectively binds carbon dioxide under certain conditions. The AI then generates, evaluates, and optimizes the potential molecular structures that meet those exact criteria.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
