Nobel chemistry laureate moves to China to head AI materials research
Omar Yaghi, who received the Nobel Prize in chemistry last year, has departed the United States to take a position at Tsinghua University in China. He is set to spearhead research utilizing artificial intelligence to speed up the creation and production of advanced materials, aiming to drastically reduce their development timelines. This transition occurs against a backdrop of funding reductions for scientific projects and stricter limits on global research partnerships under US President Donald Trump.
