PeroMAS AI system discovers new solar cell materials 10x faster than humans

Researchers have developed PeroMAS, a multi-agent AI system that autonomously discovers new perovskite materials for next-generation solar cells. Unlike previous AI tools that handled isolated tasks, PeroMAS manages the entire scientific workflow—from literature review and data analysis to experimental design and real-world synthesis. The system successfully identified viable candidate materials under multiple constraints and was validated through physical lab experiments, demonstrating significantly higher discovery efficiency than traditional methods or single LLM approaches.
