Hosea Nelson has been selected to lead a team that will receive $17 million from the NSF to create a "programmable cloud laboratory," an automated lab that will allow scientists and AI agents to conduct experiments remotely, analyzing and storing data online. https://bit.ly/4h6ZuhU

NSF Funding for Caltech-Led "Cloud Laboratory" Leverages AI to Explore Chemical Dark Matter: A Conversation with Hosea Nelson

The approach could help scientists around the country determine the 3D structure of hundreds of thousands—and potentially millions—of unknown small molecules
