Kevin Yager, leader of the electronic nanomaterials group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), has developed a chatbot with knowledge in the kinds of science he’s been engaged in. This chatbot is knowledgeable in areas of nanomaterial science that other bots are not, and can be used to aid scientific brainstorming and ideation. The details of this project and how other scientists can leverage this AI colleague for their own work have recently been published in Digital Discovery. Esther Tsai, a scientist in the electronic nanomaterials group at CFN, is developing an AI companion to help speed up materials research experiments at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II).
