Physical Artificial Intelligence (Physical AI) is where intelligence meets matter.
At 9N AI Materials, we engineer graphene-based intelligent materials that don’t just process data — they sense, learn, and adapt at the atomic level.
This fusion of AI and advanced materials enables surfaces, structures, and devices to act with local intelligence — redefining how technology interacts with the physical world.
Sustainable Intelligence — From Megawatts to Microns
Today’s frontier-scale AI models — the kind that require vast data-centre infrastructure, tens of thousands of accelerators, and multi-megawatt power budgets — represent the peak of digital-only intelligence.
Physical AI takes a radically different approach. Instead of confining intelligence to distant servers, it embeds computation, memory, and adaptation directly into matter.
With iO1, we explore computational densities that fit onto a film just microns thick — approximately the size of two A4 sheets — operating below 10 watts while dramatically reducing heat, energy demand, and infrastructure overhead.
By shifting intelligence from energy-hungry silicon into the material itself, Physical AI transforms supercomputer-scale computation into a compact, efficient, and sustainable system that can sit on your desk.
