Deposition #486 is the origin of the Alchemy engine — the computational materials search that scores compound combinations to discover substances that do not yet exist, including the AES substrate that the AutoPhi chips are built on.

“computational predictive plasma sorting lapidary alchemy studies in cures for cancer and virtual new materials” — Christopher Gabriel Brown, 2017

From one line to an engineered product

The 2017 deposition names the method outright: computational, predictive materials science — sorting and scoring candidate compounds to find virtual new materials before a crucible is ever lit. That method became the Alchemy database that scored 2,000 compound combinations against twenty criteria and surfaced AES — a $5/kg substrate with ~8× silicon’s electron mobility and a direct bandgap. The founding claim is unchanged: predict the material, then build it.
