Overview
Discovered Materials is a San Francisco-based deep-tech company building autonomous "AI scientists" to discover new materials for the semiconductor industry. Finding novel hardware materials typically takes over a decade of manual laboratory work; the company uses LLM-powered agent swarms to compress this "lab-to-fab" timeline down to months.
