Humans come out second best against efficient robot chemist
Chemists aren’t out of a job but the robot did perform well when it came to discovering and creating giant self-assembling structures
Robotic chemists have been shown to be more efficient than their human counterparts – at least when it comes to discovering and crystallising gigantic self-assembling molecules. While these synthetic scientists aren’t about to replace the real thing any time soon, they could help humans to tackle their own blind spots and biases when it comes to research.
