Microsoft Discovery Using agentic AI

The platform features a highly extensible architecture, allowing integration of partner, open-source, and proprietary models, tools, and datasets

Its core is a graph-based knowledge engine that enables deep, contextual reasoning over complex, multidisciplinary scientific data

Specialized AI agents, defined in natural language, collaborate with researchers to automate and optimize tasks like simulation, literature review, and hypothesis generation

Microsoft Copilot acts as the orchestrator, coordinating agents and workflows, and integrating AI and HPC simulations for end-to-end R&D processes

Discovery supports iterative, evidence-driven research, adapting strategies based on findings and enabling transparent, traceable reasoning

Built on Azure, the platform ensures enterprise-grade governance, compliance, and security, while supporting open innovation and future technologies like quantum computing

Real-world impact includes rapid discovery of a non-PFAS coolant prototype for data centers and a solid-state electrolyte candidate using 70% less lithium
