Abstract
Materials power key technological breakthroughs in foundational industries (communications, consumer electronics, aerospace, automotive, energy, etc) of the 21st century, rapidly approaching the limits of Moore's law for processor speed and capacity, bandwidth of traditional silica fibers. At the same time, advances in areas such as quantum computing, AI, and IoT will require new materials with performance envelopes beyond traditional limits - lighter, cheaper, more powerful. The era of digital transformation demands dramatic performance improvements in data transmission (petabytes/s/km) and storage (zetta-bytes), sensing (sensitivity, resolution, response time, dynamic range) and mechanical flexibility, requiring novel advanced engineered materials. Estimates of the industrial impact of Advanced Materials innovations over the next decade exceed $3 Trillion. There exists a body of past evidence showing that there are chemical formulations and areas in the phase diagrams of known materials that are unstable under the effect of body forces such as gravity. G-Space is a terrestrial AI platform for rapid prototyping and commercialization of gravity-independent new materials. At G-Space, the gravitational force is turned into a design parameter that unlocks areas of the phase diagram inaccessible otherwise. G-Space sees this demand for novel materials as an incredible commercial opportunity that also positively shapes the society.
