Discover the Future of Inorganic Materials R&D
Why Inorganic Materials Matter in Modern R&D
Inorganic materials are integral to a multitude of innovations, especially in electronics, energy storage and construction.
In the face of evolving challenges – be it regulatory shifts, sustainability goals, or supply chain disruptions – many companies are looking for alternative materials. ExoMatter is their go-to-tool to discover new materials or substitute existing ones.
Inorganic crystalline materials are characterized by their orderly and repeating atomic structures, which confer unique physical and chemical properties. This makes them particularly suitable for quantum mechanical calculations, which provide the basis for our machine learning algorithms, closing data gaps and providing valuable insights.
Common Challenges With Inorganic Materials
Industries relying on advanced materials increasingly face difficulties. The availability of many inorganic materials, e.g. for battery production, is threatened by geopolitical risks and rising demand, creating uncertainty in scaling production. In the solar industry, materials like indium and tellurium are limited in supply and subject to high price fluctuations.
Regulatory pressure, like the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, confronts companies with the challenge to replace materials using alternatives with comparable performance.
These challenges make it critical to evaluate new material candidates not just by technical properties, but also by factors like supply stability, regulatory impact, and long-term availability.
ExoMatter’s Focus on Inorganic Materials
ExoMatter is built to support R&D teams working with inorganic materials –including oxides, nitrides, carbides, and other classes relevant to high-performance applications.
By offering access to structured, AI-enriched scientific data, the Platform for Materials R&D enables scientists to quickly filter, compare, and rank material candidates by properties that matter to the respective application.
Whether companies are developing cutting-edge innovations or navigating regulatory or supply challenges, ExoMatter helps them find the right inorganic materials faster and more effectively.
