Kebotix, University of Toronto Partner on OLEDs R&D

Kebotix, a technology platform company for new chemicals and materials, is partnering with the University of Toronto to evaluate a new class of molecules for organic light-emitting diodes – or OLEDs – developed and patented by the university.

Kebotix Tapped by EPA to Develop Safe Pigments

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is funding Kebotix to develop safe diarylide pigment alternatives using the company’s platform that accelerates discovery of new chemicals through artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics. Today’s announcement by the Cambridge, Mass.-based technology company follows the EPA’s news of funding being allocated across 30 American companies to develop solutions for global environmental and public health problemsthrough innovative environmental technologies. Kebotix’s program, within the “Safer Chemicals” category, is for use of a machine-learning platform to develop diarylide pigment alternatives that do not produce polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other toxic byproducts.

Kebotix, SCM Partner to Advance Materials Innovation

Capitalizing on each other’s areas of expertise to advance materials innovation, Kebotix, a U.S.-based technology platform company that transforms discovery of new chemicals and materials through AI and robotics, and SCM, a Netherlands-based computational chemistry software company specializing in accurate property prediction methods through atomistic modeling, have announced a strategic partnership.

The collaboration between Kebotix and SCM is intended to enable innovative customers to drastically scale up and computationally screen far greater quantities of molecules and materials than via today’s laborious and costly norm of trial and error.

The two companies believe that integrating Kebotix’s platform with SCM’s software makes for a unique and powerful combination that will spawn faster and cost-effective new materials for the benefit of a host of industries and a world in need of sustainable solutions to life-threatening challenges.

Kebotix on Cusp of ‘Promising’ OLED Breakthrough

Tapping into its proprietary closed-loop innovation platform that accelerates discovery, Kebotix built a pipeline for smart design of OLED emitter molecules. The pipeline, spawned by a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, leverages the ability of AI to learn chemical intuition by analyzing huge amounts of data simultaneously and synergistically with the oversight of science experts. In less than six months several new classes of candidate molecules were discovered and developed into device prototypes.

Kebotix is targeting early- to mid-2022 for when these molecules will be ready to test with manufacturing partners interested in being early adopters of next-generation, commercially viable technology that seems to never stop advancing at Kebotix.
