We’re applying next-generation AI to the language of nature, helping scientists at companies like Unilever accelerate scientific discovery.
At Microsoft, we're dedicated to empowering every scientist with AI-augmented scientific discovery. Our Azure Quantum Elements platform is a significant step in this direction, offering two new groundbreaking capabilities: Generative Chemistry for the exploration of novel molecular structures at an unprecedented scale and speed, and Accelerated DFT for simulating chemical catalysts and other complex molecular structures using core innovation developed by Microsoft Research. In our work with Unilever, they're harnessing the power of Azure Quantum Elements to drive forward scientific discovery. Unilever DataLab—a leading collaboration platform for in-silico R&D innovation built on Azure—is a prime example of digital transformation in action. From unlocking the secrets of our skin’s microbiome to reducing the carbon footprint of a multi-billion-dollar business, Unilever is redefining what it means to be a consumer goods company in the modern world with leading science. Earlier this year, we demonstrated with Quantinuum the most reliable logical qubits on record, further advancing the state-of-the-art for quantum computing. And recently, we simulated a chemical catalyst combining classical supercomputers, AI and logical qubits created with Microsoft’s qubit-virtualization system and Quantinuum’s H1 hardware. This combination holds the key to unlocking scientific breakthroughs enabled by a new generation of hybrid-computing applications.

Awesome
It's fascinating to see next-generation AI being applied to decipher the language of nature, particularly in accelerating scientific discovery for companies like Unilever. This application could revolutionize fields like biochemistry and environmental science by uncovering patterns and insights that were previously too complex or time-consuming to identify. However, it’s crucial to ask: how will this integration impact the role of human scientists? Will AI augment their capabilities, or is there a risk of diminishing the value of human intuition and experience in scientific research? #AIinScience #InnovationInResearch #FutureOfDiscovery
It's incredible to see Microsoft driving innovation with Azure Quantum Elements, particularly with the introduction of Generative Chemistry and Accelerated DFT. These groundbreaking advancements will revolutionize scientific research, making the discovery and synthesis of new molecules faster and more efficient. Unilever's collaboration showcases the real-world impact, transforming R&D processes and fostering sustainable, cutting-edge consumer products.

It's great to see your insightful perspective on this topic. Your thoughtful analysis always adds depth to the conversation.
From those to whom much is given, much is expected...
3wHi Satya Nadella , it is good to see microsoft working on next-generation AI. It is really cool. I am also an ex-microsoft employee. However, one question I have had for ages is - why can't Microsoft build reliable systems. We implemented the latest microsoft dynamics 365 and 3 years back at lenskart and we struggle till date to deal with a super slow system and the whole Microsoft team including Redmond teams clueless how to make a simple invoice posting without delays. It reminded me of the same days as Windows 5 when I was in Redmond. We can find a cure for cancer but we can't cure it with unreliable and slow systems !
