Closing the prediction loop
Its engine screens predicted crystalline compounds and uses datasets of material properties to select candidates. The team then synthesises and measures materials in-house, feeding experimental results back into its models.
Starting with magnets
alqem has a pipeline of rare-earth-free magnet candidates and works with researchers in Germany and Portugal. These are materials under development, with experimental validation connecting model predictions to potential industrial applications.
Where the funding goes
- Develop the materials-discovery engine.
- Build materials supply-chain capabilities and grow research, engineering and manufacturing teams in Munich and Coimbra.
