Cloud-native simulation company building the operating system for materials R&D
Since 2016, VirtualLab has been delivering simulation platforms, data-driven design tools, and HPC infrastructure that help materials teams make decisions with confidence — whether in the lab or on the factory floor.
Make simulation usable by every materials researcher
Our mission is to remove the setup, access, and expertise barriers that still stand between researchers and simulation — so that every experiment can be paired with computation, and every computation feeds back into the next design decision.
Three reinforcing capabilities, under one roof
Simulation platforms
Materials Square — automated DFT and MD in the browser.
Data / AI for R&D
D3Square — DOE, ML, and Bayesian optimization built for materials labs.
HPC infrastructure
