Ki tools such as Chatgpt, Gemini or Deepseek have disturbed the way we access information and generate information. However, these systems are general – they are Jacks of all shops, but masters of None.
In increasing Create new drugs To Designing fusion reactors. An area in which you gain traction is improved material discovery. Your progress is a growing offer of promising startups. Phaseetree is one of them.
PHASETREE from the Technical University of Denmark In 2021 developed a platform that integrates computer simulations, laboratory automation and AI to develop new materials for clean technologies such as batteries, solar modules and wind turbines. While it does not reveal its secret sauce, the startup said that the technology made it possible to find new materials ten times faster than conventional methods.
“Our approach accelerates the discovery by combining the physics -based modeling with AI and enabling us to quickly identify and refine promising candidates whose development would traditionally take decades,” said Jin Hyun Chang, co -founder of Phasere and CTO, to TNW.

Phaseetree is located in an increasingly overcrowded sector. According to Acalroom, over $ 260 million over $ 260 million collected over $ 260 million last year. Ten of the 17 financing rounds in 2024 went to startups in Europe, including Exomatter, Dunia and Orbital.
Phaseetree promotes a different approach for its rivals. In contrast to many other AI-driven material discovery tools, Chang said, the start-up first prioritized the existing scientific methods and then uses machine learning in an approach that it refers to the “physics first, AI-an-top”.
“Many KE-controlled tools are based heavily on data correlations, but we emphasize the physical principles for materials such as composition, nuclear structure, defects and microstructures to ensure reliable prediction of the material properties,” he said.
Today PhaseTree announced that it was secured 3 million euros in the financing of the VC Heartcore Capital based in Denmark. It will use the fresh means to increase research and development and expand its team. Because it tries to use its science to solve problems with the real world.
Amit Luthra, co -founder and CEO of Phaserere, emphasized the company's focus on practical applications.
“From the beginning we design materials taking into account the manufacturing and ensure that they can be synthesized on the scale instead of a theoretical concept or a prototype of the laboratory scale,” Luthra told TNW. “Through prioritizing inexpensive, abundant materials with simple syntheser routes, we maximize the likelihood of takeover by important industrial actors.”
PhaseTree said that it is currently working with some of the world's largest battery, automotive and steel manufacturers and already optimizes high-performance battery electrodes and advanced alloys.
