PoLARIS is not a commercial AI product, but an academic autonomous research system developed by North Carolina State University (Abolhasani Lab) in cooperation with Brown University. It is a microfluidic "Self-Driving Laboratory" that combines AI-driven decision-making with automated synthesis and analysis to optimize complex, lead-free double perovskite nanoplates. The results were published in May 2026 in the journal Nature Communications; no commercial product page, price list, or licensing model exists.
