Vision

To transform autonomous laboratories into intelligent scientific partners that revolutionize the manufacturing of next-generation electronic and quantum materials.

Mission

Supported by a nearly 20 million award from the National Science Foundation, the READINESS PCL Node develops the scientific foundations, autonomous infrastructure, and AI technologies required to enable scalable, cloud-based synthesis of next-generation electronic and quantum materials. By integrating advanced materials synthesis and characterization, robotics, digital twins, shared data infrastructure, and self-improving AI agents into a unified autonomous experimentation platform, READINESS will transition materials synthesis from empirical trial-and-error to predictive, data-driven scientific discovery.
