AI for Scientific Progress: Bringing Digital Control to Physical Matter

August 12, 2016

“AI for Scientific Progress: Bringing Digital Control to Physical Matter” is a 2-1/2 day, fast-paced interactive workshop in Silicon Valley, targeted at generating new insights, new projects, and new funding for the goal of applying advanced computer science to the challenges of atomic precision.

A multidisciplinary group of specialists in artificial intelligence—broadly defined—will collaborate with those tackling the challenges of constructing atomically-precise 3D structures, including pathways using chemistry, applied physics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and engineering.

Areas to be addressed include complex structures built via organic and inorganic synthesis; objects and devices constructed from DNA, RNA, proteins, or biomimetic polymers; construction via scanning probe; and other approaches to building with increasing precision from the bottom up.
