Urgent problems require urgent solutions. Here's how @IBM Research is using #AI-driven accelerated discovery to tackle #climatechange, this #climateweek and beyond: A thread

1/ Our researchers are using #AI to design and test new molecular building blocks for capturing CO2 before its release into the atmosphere.

2/ They're developing #AI-powered workflows to use fewer toxins in #semiconductors, making them more environmentally friendly.

3/ They're also using #AI-powered workflows to create safer, higher-powered, faster-charging batteries free of cobalt, nickel and other non-renewable heavy metals.

4/ To develop biodegradable plastics more efficiently, fellows from @IBM Research are using #automation to dramatically shorten research time from hours to minutes.

5/ Last but not least, #IBM researchers are using #AI to predict the product of enzyme-based reactions, reducing waste and making the chemical industry cleaner and more sustainable.
