Researchers at UNE have developed a cutting-edge artificial intelligence platform that will prevent solar panels and other e-waste from ending up in landfill, paving the way for the NSW Government’s newly announced solar recycling plan. The breakthrough technology works by simulating millions of chemical reactions to discover the optimal chemical processes to recover the valuable materials locked inside solar panels. This AI-driven technology drastically accelerates the discovery of green, cost-effective recycling processes that can then be tested by automated robotics platforms. UNE Professor of Materials Chemistry, Amir Karton, shines a light on this fascinating development here: https://lnkd.in/g6DSYiQ7 #ProudToBeUNE
