Research at the edge of matter and machine
From coolants, semiconductors to optimal interconnects, advanced materials underpin the technologies of modern data centers. Yet developing them is slow: quantum behavior is hard to model, and lab breakthroughs rarely scale without major engineering innovation.
Orbital is changing that with our AI platform, built to solve the toughest problems in materials science. From pretrained chemical models to AI-driven synthesis and integration, our research accelerates discovery, scale-up, and deployment—turning insight into impact.
The world’s leading AI simulation model for advanced materials
Experimental data is the biggest bottleneck for AI. We solve this with large scale simulation.
The video on the left features a fully solvated COVID spike protein with half a million atoms simulated at quantum accuracy on a single GPU.
This simulation is thousands of times faster than traditional methods. Scale, speed and accuracy only possible thanks to Orb.
Orb is the world’s fastest and most accurate AI model for advanced materials, outcompeting proprietary models from the big labs.
Pretraining & generative models for advanced materials
We’re building large-scale pretrained models that learn from complex chemical and physical data enabling faster, more accurate predictions and generative design of novel materials.
Large-scale simulation
We use AI-accelerated methods to simulate metallic and quantum systems at scales beyond traditional techniques—10,000+ atoms—making critical phenomena like phase transitions and defect dynamics computationally accessible.
New materials synthesis
Our experimental team develops advanced synthesis methods to produce and scale novel materials predicted by AI—bridging simulation and industrial application.
Engineering for the future
An advanced material isn't useful unless you know how to use it. In our engineering research we investigate ways to integrate our advanced materials into entire technology packages, doing the chemical, process and mechanical engineering to achieve extraordinary results.
