Periodic Labs aims to show that solid-state physics and materials-science research can produce substantial commercial impact, which it hopes will draw attention and encourage young people to study physics.

“Before and after we love to show that solid-state physics material science research can make a big impact commercially and then that will attract more attention young people will want to study physics which will be a dream and you know Bell Labs did make a huge commercial impact right so they failed to commercialize some of their incredible advances they of course did some research that just couldn't be commercialized like the cosmic background but but they did benefit a lot from like the vacuum tube”
