1:38 am
chemistry is designing the molecule you want. is very technical, you need to work out the movie want to make. with computation, we have gone with people using mechanical typewriters and computers, to a computer that fits in the palm of your hand. meanwhile, the chemist is still working in the field. you can mix together some chemicals and make a wonderful molecule but wouldn't it be easier if you can automate the mixing and the checking so you can make more molecules more quickly, more elegantly, more reliably? why this is important is we can start to make molecules we can never make before because they are just too dangerous to make. we can change the sequence of the molecule, we can then make new tabs of medicine, we should be able to make many more drugs and tailor them to individuals. i designed chemputation to be
1:39 am
the chemical equivalent of a computer. it has a programme, a robot and a checker. this is literally a virtual reality map of the robot, so you can see in here all these different icons representing different objects, and he you have pumps, valves, reactors, and down here is the reactor, and the stirrer, and all the pumps on the valves and they are all connected together ljy they are all connected together by these white lines which represent this tubing, so we connected all up in virtual reality is that we can check it and we can even do a simulation before we actually do the chemistry for real. to control this we use an internet router, and the input chemicals are taken up because we we see these pumps and valves are moving, we take this blue
1:40 am
solution, we put it into the orange solution and take a video about using an infrared spectrometer which looks at colour and can tell us of two if the molecules have been chemputed, going from the starting molecules into the end molecules and we can keep checking until we know we have made the molecule we want. initially the experts were a little bit sceptical that you could capture the genius of the chemist in a robot, and you are right, you don't capture the genius of the chemist, what i realised we could do is take out the laborious repetitive parts and allow the genius part to be done by the human mind. going back, to the time of alchemy, or even further back, chemists didn't write things down, it was just magic. chemists didn't write things down, it wasjust magic. coming forward tojust 100 down, it wasjust magic. coming forward tojust100 years down, it wasjust magic. coming forward to just 100 years ago, chemistry is going through its almost industrial revolution,

developing materials, drugs, new fertilisers, but all that discovery process has been manual. this is not like a kind of ai is going to replace the chemist, when chemists began to see that they no longer needed to spend 50 hours in the laboratory every week reproducing things, that they could use the automation to get there faster, they became more and more excited and now it is exploding and in the same way that computer games industry blew up, just exploded as a result of the developments of personal computers in the 80s and 90s in the uk, i am hoping exactly the same thing will happen in the uk now, the number of chemical programmers willjust expand fastly number of chemical programmers will just expand fastly and number of chemical programmers willjust expand fastly and we willjust expand fastly and we will go into a new era of drug and materials and technology discovery. and materials and technology discovery-— discovery. time period this week's look _ discovery. time period this week's look at _ discovery. time period this week's look at tech - discovery. time period this week's look at tech news. | discovery. time period this i week's look at tech news. ai
