AI brief

Microsoft Research describes RetroChimera, a predictive model for chemical synthesis, in a Nature paper. The model is designed to help researchers explore a wide range of custom molecules used in medicine, materials, and agriculture.

Why it matters: Synthesis prediction could speed up and reduce the cost of producing custom molecules for drug, material, and agricultural research.
