AI-Powered Atomic Robot Chemist Precisely Builds Quantum Materials
- Researchers developed a chemist-intuited atomic robotic probe (CARP) to precisely manufacture quantum materials using AI
- CARP mimics chemists' decision-making to enable controlled production of materials like open-shell nanographene
- Combining scanning probe microscopy and deep learning, CARP can fabricate and analyze materials at the atomic level
- CARP was trained on site-selective cyclodehydrogenation reactions and showed ability to capture crucial synthesis features
- The goal is to transform on-surface synthesis from a lab process into on-chip fabrication for quantum computing applications
