A scientist in a lab in Milan examines what looks like an ordinary piece of plexiglass, running a gloved hand along its edge. But if the team at this Italian startup is on the right track, this brown-tinted semi-transparent sheet of plastic could become a skyscraper window that produces electricity from sunlight.
The idea of using glass to produce energy has been around for some time, but Israeli startup Materials Zone is working with colleagues at Glass to Power in Milan to find the precise combination of tiny nanoparticles to embed in the plastic to make this dream a reality, producing windows for high-rise buildings that generate electricity from the sun.
Materials Zone, the AI cloud-based materials discovery platform disrupting the way materials-based products are developed and manufactured, announced today that it raised $6 million in Series A funding led by Insight Partners, with participation from OurCrowd.

Understanding the science of materials has therefore become a driving force behind innovation. However, the data behind materials R&D and production has traditionally been poorly managed, unstructured, and underutilized, often leading to redundant experiments, limited capacity to build on past experience, and an inability to effectively collaborate, which inevitably wastes countless dollars and man-hours, says

Materials Zone has developed a materials discovery platform that funnels R&D and production data into an interoperable and structured database, enabling users to efficiently collaborate, manage work processes, achieve meaningful AI/ML insights, and drive better decision-making.
The company’s solution is designed to help users accelerate their R&D by discovering new and better materials. The platform uses ML guidance and materials informatics to forecast outcomes and achieve faster and improved results.
The Materials Zone solution allows users to create models on the way to production; to scale up and test the limits of their models in order to design the most cost-efficient and robust production lines; and to reduce production failures by using models to predict future fa
