SuperMatics · AI for superconductors

We are building the superconducting future.

AI that designs superconducting materials, experiments that test them, and IP that brings them to market.

01 · Why superconductors

The future is a materials problem.

Below a critical temperature, superconductors carry current with zero electrical resistance. They power MRI scanners and fusion magnets.

Today’s superconductors are too cold, costly, and hard to make. Better materials change what the world can build.

Every industry

02 · The platform

Accelerating superconductor R&D with AI.

Useful superconductors take rounds of prediction, synthesis, and measurement. Our AI designs materials, proposes recipes, and simulates wire.

Records make headlines, but wires change industries.

    Predict

    Foundation models predict how a material performs.

  2. Write the recipe

    AI agents propose synthesis recipes, with the factory in mind.

  3. Simulate

    The finished wire, coil, or cable, tested in simulation.

  4. Make and measure

    The best candidates are made and measured with partners.

03 · In the lab

AI needs new data. We make it.

Only a measurement can show whether a predicted material superconducts.
