The semiconductor industry has a dirty secret: its most advanced chips are also its hottest. GPUs today dissipate heat fluxes around 140 W/cm² — higher than a space shuttle nose cone re entering Earth's atmosphere. Every new generation of AI hardware pushes that number further, and the materials used to build these chips are hitting their physical limits. Discovered Materials, a Y Combinator P26 startup, is betting that AI agents can break that ceiling by discovering new materials faster than any human team ever could.
