From material selection to discovery
Elixir, the reasoning layer for materials.
Elixir reads a material problem in plain language, breaks it into the properties that actually matter, and narrows a knowledge base of +600,000 materials down to a short, ranked shortlist. Every candidate comes with its evidence, what would rule it out, and what to test next.
The material universe
You don’t choose from every material that exists. You choose from what you can see.
A material that was never measured was never rejected. It simply never appeared as an option. Elixir predicts the properties nobody has measured, then screens what survives against the constraints a real decision has to clear.

How Elixir reasons
Every answer follows the same path. Elixir reads the question, breaks it into the properties that actually matter, then narrows a knowledge base of +600,000 materials down to a short, ranked list. Each candidate carries its evidence, what would rule it out, and what to test next. Transparency, never guarantees.
Reasoning, not retrieval
Elixir reasons across materials, properties, conditions, and failure modes. It does not just search a database.
Evidence on every claim
Each property and recommendation carries its evidence level, its uncertainty, and what would rule it out.
Your data, isolated
Bring your own constraints, specs, and results. They stay in a namespace that is yours alone.
Open data: thermoelectrics
A worked example: 500 thermoelectric materials distilled from more than 40,000 candidates, with Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and zT.
Open data: critical material alternatives
Substitutes for export-controlled and supply-constrained elements, lined up with their cost and performance trade-offs.
How it reasons
Every ranking carries the graph behind it.
A property value on its own does not tell you whether a material survives your application. Elixir connects each candidate to the conditions it has to withstand and the failure modes tied to those conditions, so the reasoning behind a rank is there to check, not just the rank itself.
The Digital Lab
Bring a candidate. Leave with a validated one.
Upload a structure and Digital Lab runs it through the same benchmark and backfill pipeline behind every property on this page. You get a confidence-scored result back, not a black box.
