Orbital
@OrbMaterials
We use AI to design new materials, then put these into products for advanced industries, starting with data centers.
30% of the global economy depends on advanced materials. Yet we still discover them the way we did 200 years ago: mix, heat, test, repeat. At Orbital, we use AI to design materials and because we’re fully verticalized, turn them into deployable hardware. Our CEO Jonathan…
One thing we look for at Orbital is interdisciplinary people, folks who are committed to learning whatever it takes to achieve our goals. That might mean a mechanical engineer learning AI, materials science, manufacturing or all of the above. For Ruxy Chitac, one of our…
Through leveraging our AI expertise, we’ve discovered materials that are critical to our data center products: ➡️ A dual‑use chiller ➡️ A two‑phase direct‑to‑chip cooling system. With both now moving into pilot deployment, working with our partners @awscloud, @CivoCloud and…
“The material is the engine, but it’s the infrastructure around it that unlocks performance.” In this short video, Graham Wenz shares how we build our products - such as the dual-use chiller - to deliver real-world value to advanced industries. The closed feedback loop between…
Our AI simulation model, Orb, continues to be recognized as a game-changer within materials innovation. The @wef detailed in a recent article how AI is transforming materials discovery, moving from hypothesis to design, prediction, and validation at unprecedented speed. And…
We built our simulation model, Orb, using @awscloud's SageMaker HyperPod. It’s helped us go from materials discovery to physical deployment 10 times faster. Orb powers the design of materials used in our dual-use chiller — built for cooling AI-scale data centers with…
What’s one of the biggest challenges data centers face? With the exponential rise in the development and use of AI, data centers are beginning to overheat due to the extreme workloads. At Orbital, we’ve developed products such as our direct-to-chip, two-phase cooling solution…
Partnering with @OrbMaterials at @compoundvc has taught us a lot about what a world class materials focused company looks like. It's one of our largest investments in our current fund since partnering years ago. We've continued to spend more time digging into the materials…
New Post on frontiers of materials science & discovery - Materials we're excited about - Computationally predicting properties, incl the merging of NNPs & generative approaches - Massively parallel synthesis - Retrosynthesis prediction - Business models - And a speculative future
AI is allowing companies to reimagine advanced materials of the future. We use our AI models to bring to market data center technologies for the next generation of extreme AI workloads. Our solution, a dual purpose chiller built for liquid-cooled data centers, was featured in…
What a phenomenal few days in Iceland 🇮🇸! Bringing together our chemists, engineers, and ML/AI experts, this trip strengthened our internal alignment and highlighted our unique, interdisciplinary team structure. We’re not just advancing technology — our products are enabling…
We’ve been featured on @Bloomberg & @Founders_Forum's list of '25 European Startups That Could Change The World' 🚀 It’s an honor to be named amongst groundbreaking startups such as @MistralAI, Helsing and @wayve_ai, as we shape the future of advanced industries by designing…
Our data center solutions are built entirely in-house, from the ground up. Because we're fully verticalized, we can move seamlessly from using our AI models to design and test new materials, to integrating those materials directly into products. One example is our two-phase,…
