arXiv:2608. 04170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI co-scientists can generate fluent materials-science hypotheses, but fluency does not show that an answer preserves a scientifically meaningful mechanism.
arXiv:2607. 00924v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accelerating materials discovery requires AI systems that can generate scientifically valid hypotheses through multi-step, domain-grounded reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 18874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI systems can increasingly automate scientific workflows, but the reasoning that links prior evidence, generated ideas, experiments and final claims often remains implicit inside model inference.
arXiv:2607. 17917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific Reasoning Graph Extraction (SRGE) aims to recover explicit links among observations, evidence, intermediate claims, and paper-level conclusions.
arXiv:2607. 14658v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel in general tasks, rigorous scientific reasoning remains challenging due to the limitations of monolithic, linear planning.
arXiv:2605. 26179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) serves as the basis for computational discovery in materials science and chemistry, yet each calculation demands extensive human effort: adjusting algorithms when convergence stalls, revising plans when unexpected physics emerges, and inserting steps as intermediate results reshape the problem.
arXiv:2605. 29475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) show remarkable potential in scientific hypothesis discovery.
arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.
arXiv:2608. 04738v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous research agents can generate hypotheses, execute experiments, and draft manuscripts, yet their outputs often contain unsupported claims and inconsistencies between research questions, experiments, results, and conclusions.
arXiv:2606. 21005v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific discovery workflows often depend on structured curation from the literature.
arXiv:2509. 06093v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Materials synthesis procedures are predominantly documented as narrative text in papers, protocols, and laboratory records, placing them beyond the reach of conventional data-driven optimization frameworks.
arXiv:2606. 31478v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous research agents can now draft hypotheses, write code, run experiments, and produce papers, but they remain brittle when experiments fail.
arXiv:2607. 25641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While text-to-image models exhibit remarkable visual fidelity, they frequently violate fundamental physical commonsense.
