Part 7/17:
In the realm of materials science and energy research, Orb, developed by a small startup, is redefining what's possible. It's blazing fast, open-source, and outperforms giants like Google and Microsoft in both accuracy and speed, especially on complex atomic-scale simulations.
Why Is This Important?
Accurate modeling of atomic interactions is vital for designing batteries, solar cells, and semiconductors. Traditional methods are slow, costly, and involve oversimplifications—limiting progress. Orb's ability to simulate detailed interactions five times faster and with higher fidelity** accelerates material development in the transition to renewable energy.
