Problem
Machines excel at processing digital data but lack the ability to interpret sensory information like smell, taste, and feel, which limits their understanding of complex materials and biological systems. Current methods for analyzing biophysical properties of materials require extensive and time-consuming analysis.
Solution
The startup offers the Liquid Brain®, a liquid-state device that utilizes nonlinear Lucassen waves to enable machines to interpret sensory data from complex molecules. This technology captures the unique sensory fingerprints of complex molecules and formulations, allowing users to "feel" if something is drug-like, sweet, or contaminated without strenuous analysis. The Liquid Brain maps complex materials according to their biophysical properties, comparing how different molecules bend, ripple, float, and dissolve. It also predicts the biophysical characteristics of previously untested molecules, facilitating the design of safe new drugs and delicious foods at scale.
Target Audience
The primary users are researchers and product developers in medical research and material design who need to analyze and understand the sensory properties of complex materials.
