MatMind: A Structure-Activity Knowledge-Driven Generative Foundation Model for Materials Science

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.

SciGen-Verifier: A Multimodal Reasoner for Explainable Verification in Scientific Image Generation

arXiv:2609.33399v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In realistic education, a solution is often expressed not only in words but in a drawing--a circuit, a geometric construction, a function plot--and...

Grounded verification of chemical and materials reasoning: detection is the bottleneck

Large language models confabulate chemical objects (molecular formulas, space groups, formation energies) in fluent reasoning traces, concentrated on long-tail entities where confidence is least trustworthy. Deterministic, database-grounded verification can catch and repair such errors without the coverage cost of blanket retrieval; the binding constraint, we find, is detection, not repair.

Reason, Reward, Refine: Step-Level Errors Corrections with Structured Feedback for Physics Reasoning in Small Language Models

arXiv:2607. 05199v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics reasoning fails structurally in small language models: an error at any step propagates forward, corrupting every inference that follows.
