Find the cold switch.

Project 118 is an AI-run, fully-audited search for materials that can switch between conducting and insulating by moving ions — electrochemical potential — instead of burning heat. We screen candidate material systems by how cheaply they switch, rank them, and trace every result back to its source.

No assumptions. No legacy bias. Just audited data. Phase one is the ranked shortlist of candidates worth building. Phase two is proving them in silicon — the foundation for a generation of computing hardware that doesn't have to cook itself to think.
