Simulation, machine learning, robotics, autonomous labs, and high-throughput experimentation are converging into integrated discovery loops.

The opportunity is enormous, but the hard questions remain: data quality, physical validation, manufacturability, reliability, and scale. Discovery Day is built around those questions.
