Today we are releasing ether0, our first scientific reasoning model. We trained Mistral 24B with RL on several molecular design tasks in chemistry. Remarkably, we found that LLMs can learn some scientific tasks more much data-efficiently than specialized models trained from…
Thrilled to announce The Engine Ventures’ Fund III! With $398M in new capital, we now manage over $1B. We’ll keep backing visionary founders to turn groundbreaking discoveries into impactful solutions in climate, health, and advanced systems. engineventures.com/news
I’m very excited to share my final first author paper from my postdoc now in @NatureEnergyJnl. In it we uncover how surface treatment of perovskites with HABr enabled two world-record solar cell efficiencies. nature.com/articles/s4156…. These were the first devices with >25% -@NREL.
Today, we are announcing Future House, a philanthropically-funded moonshot focused on building an AI Scientist. At Future House, our 10-year mission is to build semi-autonomous AIs for scientific research, to accelerate the pace of discovery and to provide world-wide access to…
People need me time; quasiparticles need to 'relax' too. To use exciton-polaritons (hybrids of light and matter) in applications similar to lasers, you need to bring polaritons down to their lowest energy state. @MIT scientists found a way to control them: news.mit.edu/2023/study-rev…
Wonderful to see our paper in @NatureComms featured in @MIT News! “A perovskite device combining electronics and photonics may open doors to new kinds of computer chips or quantum qubits.” @DanedeQuilettes @KapKapRevenge @GiuliaGrancini @andrewhproppe news.mit.edu/2023/study-rev…
.@mlaitz @KapKapRevenge @DanedeQuilettes et al. @MIT study the temperature dependence of #2D #perovskite #microcavity #polaritons, revealing material-specific relaxation mechanisms towards enhanced control of polariton momentum #GettingApplied nature.com/articles/s4146…
So excited about this work out now in @NatureComms! Congrats to @mlaitz for spearheading this project- revealing the inner workings of polariton relaxation in perovskites. Also thanks to @GiuliaGrancini,@andrewhproppe, + the rest of the twitter-less team. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Excited to share our work in @NatureComms on exciton-polariton formation and relaxation dynamics in perovskites! Huge shoutout to the team: the cryo master @KapKapRevenge, @DanedeQuilettes, @GiuliaGrancini, @andrewhproppe, and all others not on Twitter! nature.com/articles/s4146…
Semiconductor energy transport can be affected by many sources including photon recycling, grain boundaries, & nonlinear recombination. @DanedeQuilettes @brenesrob @mlaitz develop new ways to model & understand these competing processes. @RLEatMIT fal.cn/3kTZL /#PHAR
When people said doing a PhD would be difficult I was thinking more along the lines of "challenging math to be learned" rather than "the culture and bureaucracy of academia will demean you and wear you down day after day for 5+ years"
