TORONTO, ON - The Acceleration Consortium, a new global collaboration between academia, industry and government, based at the University of Toronto (U of T), will use artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to accelerate the design and discovery of materials that don t yet exist. These advanced materials will make technologies more affordable and eco-friendlier with applications ranging from renewable energy and consumer electronics to drugs.
