“Using Schrödinger’s digital molecular simulation platform, we’ve explored thousands of new materials in silico and used that exploration to select the most likely candidates to improve LMB cell performance and stability. This approach has led to a 10-fold improvement in our battery performance over the past two years.”
Jessica GoldenDirector of R&D, Sepion Technologies
“In contrast to current computational methods that rely on rudimentary open source molecular descriptors and highly variable, limited public databases, this novel approach utilizes Schrödinger’s physics-based modeling to calculate more comprehensive descriptors and harnesses Eonix’s chemically diverse database for robust machine learning model training.”
Don DeRosaCo-founder, Eonix
“On average, applying Schrödinger’s technology has expedited timelines up to 10x compared to a purely experimental approach.”
