LMNTS (Lab for Mineral Nanotechnology and Science)
LMNTS (Lab for Mineral Nanotechnology and Science)
LMNTS builds and deploys autonomous tools for physical axiology, the study of material value. LMNTS is managed by the Living Minerals Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
REACT (Robotic Exploration and Autonomy for Chemical Transofrmations)
REACT (Robotic Exploration and Autonomy for Chemical Transofrmations)
REACT is a chemistry lab for fundamental exploration. Solid, liquid, and gas reactions are orchestrated by AI and carried out by robotic agents. LMNTS is managed by the Living Minerals Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. REACT has two flagship systems: ARC for high temperature reactions and HIPASS for aqueous reactions.
ARC - Autonomous Reaction Calorimetry
ARC - Autonomous Reaction Calorimetry
Free energy on-demand
What it is
ARC is an autonomous laboratory for measurements of chemical reaction energies from cryogenic to combustion temperatures. ARC enables on-demand thermodynamic knowledge generation through heat capacity, enthalpy, and entropy measurements in combination with in-situ and ex-situ chemical and structural characterization. Automated solid and liquid weighing and robotic material handling drive end-to-end material creation, characterization, cataloging, and control processes. A team of AI daemons use thermodynamic foundation models to plan, execute, interpret, and update experiments to discover reaction pathways that are superlatively simple and efficient.

HIPASS - (Hypermodal Intelligent Platform for Aqueous Synthesis and Separation Science)
HIPASS - (Hypermodal Intelligent Platform for Aqueous Synthesis and Separation Science)
Autonomous platform for chemical discovery
What is it
HIPASS is an autonomous chemistry robot that will enable rapid process development for the separation and concentration of dissolved and slurried minerals. Mineral, brine, and slurry feedstocks are automatically dosed into the reaction chamber, where reagents are added and reaction progress is quantified with temperature, conductivity, pH, Eh. Automated sampling from the reaction chamber is automatically diluted, calibrated, and analyzed for real-time chemistry. An AI agent analyzes reaction efficiency and yield in real time, optimizing performance on the fly. HIPASS will catalyze a paradigm shift in mineral process development by searching large chemical spaces for novel reaction paths.
