Unilever is redefining research and development fundamentals
In order to facilitate their digital R&D transformation and product innovation, Unilever is utilising the supercomputing and AI technologies offered by Microsoft. Unilever is changing what it means to be a consumer products firm in the modern world using cutting edge science, from discovering the mysteries of our skin’s microbiome to lowering the carbon footprint of a multibillion dollar company.
In what way In order to identify a superior battery, Microsoft’s AI vetted over 32 million applicants
In order to identify a novel substance that was previously unidentified and not found in nature, the Microsoft Quantum team collaborated with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) of the Department of Energy. The collaborative development team screened over 32 million possibilities using artificial intelligence (AI), which drastically changed the scientific method, in order to find and create a novel material that may lead to improved batteries.
Overview of the Product
The Launch of Generative Chemistry The end-to-end workflow known as “Generative Chemistry” will soon be accessible through the Azure Quantum Elements private preview. It uses generative AI to significantly simplify the process of finding and designing new molecules with desired features, hence speeding up the development of new products.
Introducing Enhanced DFT Density functional theory, or accelerated DFT, is now accessible through Azure Quantum Elements private preview. It can identify the quantum-mechanical characteristics of molecules with thousands of atoms in a few hours, offering an average 20-fold speed boost over one of the most popular open-source DFT codes.

Use Azure Quantum to learn about chemical concepts
Create, visualise, and interact with molecular structures and orbitals using Copilot in Azure Quantum to learn about chemistry and materials science ideas in a fresh and engaging way. With Copilot’s rapid generation of study summaries that include citations for further reading when necessary, you can stay up to date on scientific advancements based on the most recent scientific research.
Scientists engaged with finding and creating new chemicals will be inspired by the announcement of new features in Azure Quantum Elements Generative Chemistry. This will facilitate innovative expansion in numerous sectors, such as assisting oil and gas companies in finding more potent fuel additives to prolong engine life or helping glue companies develop novel chemicals that improve adhesion while eliminating undesirable residue.
This technique of discovery could be likened to using a single, tiny torch to search a big, busy, dark warehouse for a small box. The rest of the warehouse is dark and unknown, and we can only concentrate the light on a limited area at a time. Their light has become much wiser thanks to generative AI, which can now lead us in new directions and give us visibility where we may not have previously thought to or been able to look.
Researchers can request compounds with specific properties from Generative Chemistry, including faster degradation or easier recycling. They can also let the system know what their intended use is and share details about it, allowing it to identify pertinent chemical features. They obtain a group of candidates for more investigation after a few more steps that meet those criteria.
To completely revolutionize the discovery process with AI, however, creating candidates alone is insufficient. The ability of computational tools to assist scientists in finding innovative, synthesizable, and practically usable compounds is a fundamental requirement for chemistry applications. Approach to generative chemistry take shape, offering previously unseen compounds with beneficial features tailored for certain uses and a manageable synthesis process.
Thus, when researchers work on creating their “recipe” for laboratory synthesis of these molecular possibilities, Generative Chemistry will provide them with possible stages to think about. Azure AutoRXN software’s ability to examine chemical reactions in reverse order, which can aid in assessing synthesis paths for producing a target molecule, has been leveraged to provide support for this crucial component.
Creating a new paradigm for scientific discovery with Unilever
With 3.4 billion people using its powerful portfolio of household brands including Dove, TRESemmé, Omo, Degree, Hellmann’s, and Ben & Jerry’s Unilever is a leader in the consumer products sector. To offer the greatest possible customer experience and improve daily life, all products be they cleaning, cosmetic, or care need to incorporate the most recent scientific advancements.
In order to advance product innovation, Unilever and Microsoft have collaborated for the last 2.5 years to find new digital capabilities.
