What alqem does
alqem builds an AI-driven materials-discovery engine that narrows hundreds of millions of theoretical crystalline compounds into a shortlist of candidates and automates the lab analysis steps normally needed to validate them. The company says its first target is permanent magnets that avoid rare-earth elements, used in EVs, wind turbines, robotics and defence systems. Its engine combines a proprietary predicted-materials database, domain-specific training datasets, and in-house synthesis and characterization work anchored by LMU Munich physics professor Milan Allan. alqem was founded in Munich in 2026 by Hanh Nguyen and Tiago Cerqueira, with research partners including LMU Munich, TU Munich and the Max Planck Institute Dresden.
alqem is a research tool on Falcoscan. AI platform that discovers new rare-earth-free materials. Falcoscan rates alqem with an Opportunity score of 78/100, a Saturation score of 14/100, and a Wrapper-risk score of 15/100. Market signal: rising. alqem is founded in 2026, currently at Pre_seed stage. Pricing: Paid.
