On May 3, Mat3ra hosted another A.I. 2 Science Happy Hour in Lafayette, California, bringing together researchers, builders, and entrepreneurs for informal conversations at the intersection of AI and science. The event highlighted the value of in-person community gatherings for sharing ideas and building new connections across scientific fields.
On June 7, Mat3ra hosted another A.I. 2 Science Happy Hour in Lafayette, California. The event brought together researchers and builders for informal discussions on robotics and AI for surgery and medical applications, AI safety and ethics, and turning real scientific problems into executable AI workflows.
Mat3ra, represented by Founder & CEO Timur Bazhirov, participated in Microsoft’s AI at the Frontier conference during Deep Tech Week in San Francisco. The event brought together leaders across medicine, materials science, and computational infrastructure to discuss practical frontier applications of AI, with Mat3ra highlighting the role of AI and cloud-HPC in accelerating materials research.
Exabyte Inc., the developer of Mat3ra.com, is proud to announce its selection under the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission as part of three Phase I projects — including AlphaFilm, a Mat3ra-led effort to build a first-in-the-nation closed-loop agentic AI capability for semiconductor thin-film materials.
Mat3ra joined the inaugural Genesis Mission teams in Washington, D.C., selected for three Phase I projects from nearly 5,000 submissions nationwide. The Summit gathered 342 institutions — national labs, academia, industry, and government — to advance AI-enabled discovery, marking Mat3ra's shift from selection to active collaboration.
On August 2, Mat3ra welcomed another AI 2 Science Happy Hour to Social Bird in Lafayette, California, bringing together scientists, engineers, and curious newcomers for open conversation at the crossroads of AI and scientific discovery.
The latest A.I. 2 Science Happy Hour in Lafayette brought together researchers, students, builders, and community members for an informal afternoon of conversation around AI and science. The event focused on open exchange, new connections, and cross-disciplinary discussion in a relaxed setting. The next A.I. 2 Science Happy Hour will take place on October 4, 2026.
Mat3ra is leading AlphaFilm, a DOE Genesis Mission project to accelerate thin-film materials discovery by up to 30x using closed-loop, agentic AI — in partnership with National Lab of the Rockies and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Mat3ra Japan K.K. exhibited at Booth 3-2 during the 81st Annual Meeting of the Japan Physical Society (JPS) at the University of Tokyo's Komaba Campus, September 14–17, 2026. Timur Bazhirov and Jean-Dominique Francois talked with attendees about breaking down the wall between theory and experiment through browser-native physics.
Mat3ra visited Tokyo to meet with ENEOS and Matlantis, and with University of Tokyo faculty — Professor Teruyasu Mizoguchi, Professor Junichiro Shiomi, and Associate Professor Shigeru Kobayashi — to discuss closed-loop, AI-driven approaches to materials science.
Mat3ra joined a RISE-A (Revolutionary Innovation by Semiconductor Ecosystem for All Industries) gathering at RISE GATE NIHONBASHI in Tokyo, connecting with Japan's semiconductor manufacturing and materials innovation ecosystem.
Mat3ra took the stage at Artience's Material Technology Market in Tokyo on September 18, 2026, presenting its Materials R&D Cloud platform to Japan's materials innovation community at Incubation CANVAS TOKYO.
Mat3ra Japan, K.K. signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at the University of Tsukuba on September 29, 2026, giving CCS researchers free access to the Mat3ra platform and establishing a framework for training and collaboration across Japan's computational science community.
A day in Tsukuba: the Mat3ra team visits Sekisui Chemical and the University of Tsukuba's Center for Computational Sciences, touring CCS's historic supercomputers and catching up on the MoU collaboration.
From September 14 to October 2, 2026, Mat3ra took part in the JPS Annual Meeting, the Artience Material Technology Market and a RISE-A gathering, and met academic and industry partners in Tokyo and Tsukuba.
On Sunday, October 4, the AI 2 Science Happy Hour took place at Social Bird in Lafayette, CA: an open, unhurried afternoon for anyone curious about where artificial intelligence meets science.
