Platform

Developing new advanced materials & physical technologies takes years of trial and error in the lab.
Orbital uses its AI to replace trial and error with rational design, taking technologies from discovery to deployment faster than with human input alone.
Technology Development Pipeline
By using AI we learn faster and earlier - accelerating from discovery to deployment.

Engineer in-silico, materialize in reality

Design

When prompted with a desired set of properties, our generative AI, LINUS, reasons through the universe of possible chemistries to design a material from scratch.

Our researchers harness LINUS’s ability to reason over multiple constraints, leveraging our proprietary dataset that includes process, wet lab data, manufacturing, and performance factors. This enables us to design, synthesize, characterize, and test new materials that power our climate technologies under realistic conditions.

Deploy

After design, our engineering team integrates these materials into end-to-end process technologies. This includes optimized reactor design, piping, and process flows to maximize overall chemical process performance.

At our Princeton prototyping site, we fabricate and pilot these end-to-end systems, preparing them for deployment.
