Open Catalyst Project

The Open Catalyst Project is an initiative that uses advanced computer algorithms and artificial intelligence to study how molecules, like water or pollutants, interact with catalysts—materials that speed up chemical reactions. By simulating these interactions accurately, researchers aim to discover new catalysts more efficiently, which can lead to better fuels, cleaner energy sources, and environmental solutions. The project shares its data and tools openly, encouraging collaboration among scientists worldwide to accelerate innovation in sustainable chemistry and energy technologies.
