Atomic Machines, a start-up led by Jeff Holden, is using artificial intelligence to build a "matter compiler" that transforms computer code into physical devices. Their first creation is a revolutionary electrical switch that is fast, efficient, and small, solving a long-standing problem for data centers. The company aims to use this technology to manufacture "microrobots" for surgeries and advanced manufacturing, potentially enabling instant medical testing.
By applying AI to physical design, Atomic Machines is attempting to overcome the limitations of traditional semiconductor manufacturing, which wastes energy and generates excessive heat. This effort is part of a broader trend of using AI for physical tasks, though experts note the immense challenges involved in realizing these designs physically.
