RICHLAND, Wash.—A research team at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has deployed AI agents with the potential to accelerate the recovery of critical minerals from real-world industrial waste in days instead of the months or years required for manual experimentation.
The team, led by PNNL materials scientist Elias Nakouzi, created a semi-autonomous lab tied to a series of specially designed AI ag
