Episode 7: RoboMapper reduces environmental impact of data generation

MRS Bulletin Materials News Podcast

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin’s Laura Leay interviews Aram Amassian from North Carolina State University about his group’s achievements using RoboMapper, a materials acceleration platform. In researchers’ quest to run environmentally-conscious laboratories, Amassian offers a solution that focuses on characterization of materials. Having found that characterization generates a lot of energy, his group developed an automated approach to screening small samples in order to identify ones that warranted more in-depth study. By using their automated approach, the researchers found quantitative structure–property relationships for wide-bandgap perovskites. This work was published in a recent issue of Matter.
