Self-Driving Lab and Automation Processes

Automation Processes and Self-Driving Labs (SDLs) will play a crucial role in materials sciences.

The research at INT in this area aims at speeding up and standardizing chemical reactions. This will help in finding much-needed novel materials for example for nanotechnology and energy-storage systems.
