BASF ECMS deploys CurieOS for AI-driven materials discovery. Read the announcement

CurieOS for chemistry R&D

Connect candidate screening to experimental evidence.

Use atomistic simulation and property prediction to compare material candidates. Keep structures, conditions, computed results, and measurements connected as teams choose what to validate.

Workflows

What chemistry teams do on CurieOS

Built for computational chemists, R&D leaders, and CROs working on catalysts, coolants, polymers, and other advanced materials.

  1. 1

    Screen candidates with Orb

    Run Orb and property prediction across a candidate set, then rank it against your targets — boiling point, dielectric strength, stability.

    UsesOrbChat
  2. 2

    Start from what is already known

    Survey the literature and your internal reports in chat, and carry the findings straight into the next screening run.

    UsesChatCompany context
  3. 3

    Track the lab against the predictions

    Build an experiment tracker that links each sample and measurement back to the simulation that proposed it.

    UsesAppsVASP · ASE

CurieOS doesn't replace lab validation. It tells you which candidates are worth testing first.

Supported software and data

Software and data CurieOS supports for chemistry R&D

CurieOS for chemistry R&D works with atomistic simulation codes (VASP 6.6, Quantum ESPRESSO, LAMMPS, ASE, GPU4PySCF / PySCF and Packmol), Orbital Industries’ Orb force fields and QSPR property-prediction ensemble, chemistry toolkits (RDKit, EPAM Indigo and ChemDraw CDXML / CDX files), structure and synthesis databases (Materials Project, MofasaDB / MOFUX and ZeoSyn), and MolPort for sourcing.

Common questions

What is CurieOS for chemistry R&D?

CurieOS is an AI operating system for science and engineering teams, built by Orbital Industries. Chemistry R&D teams use it to run atomistic simulation and property prediction across candidate materials, then keep structures, conditions, predictions, and measurements connected as they decide what to synthesize.

Which simulation software does CurieOS work with for chemistry?

CurieOS works with VASP 6.6, ASE, Packmol, and GPU4PySCF / PySCF, alongside Orbital Industries’ own Orb force fields and QSPR property-prediction ensemble. Chemistry toolkits include RDKit, EPAM Indigo, and ChemDraw CDXML / CDX files.

What is Orb?

Orb is Orbital Industries’ AI-accelerated atomistic simulation model, available only in CurieOS. It runs 100,000-atom systems on one GPU and is 10× faster than Microsoft and Meta alternatives, based on Orbital Industries’ internal benchmarks.

Does CurieOS replace lab validation?

No. CurieOS ranks candidates so teams know which are worth testing first. Computational candidates still need experimental confirmation.

How is CurieOS different from ChatGPT or Claude?

General-purpose assistants return text. CurieOS works with scientific file formats and tools, shows results as visualizations, and lets you step through the inputs, equations, and intermediate values behind each calculation.

Connected across the lifecycle

One platform from chemistry to deployment.

A material screened by one team can be evaluated against hardware and deployment constraints by the next, without re-characterization or a six-month handoff. Orbital Industries runs its own programs this way.
