From the article: > The AI chemist used a robot arm to collect samples from the Martian meteorites, then it employed a laser to scan the ore. From there, it calculated more than 3.7 million molecules it could make from six different metallic elements in the rocks — iron, nickel, manganese, magnesium, aluminum and calcium. > Within six weeks, without any human intervention, the AI chemist selected, synthesized and tested 243 of those different molecules. I expected something less automated. It took a few time reading this to see that the robotic research labs from computer games I used to play are now here.
