What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Peer-reviewed in Nature Communications with industry (Eastman) backing and real hardware results, but single-chemistry proof and unaddressed scale-up/cost keep it at the watch stage for adopters.
Next
Pilot the open Bayesian-optimization methodology on an in-scope homogeneous reaction in existing HTE hardware before investing in a bespoke autonomous reactor build.
