Microsoft Discovery enables autonomous AI agent research teams

Summary

R&D teams can replace manual literature synthesis and experimental iteration with supervised agentic workflows that remain reproducible and reviewable. Reduces experimental design cycles by pre-simulating high-probability parameter ranges before physical fabrication.
