Auditable Human-Agent Teams for Autonomous X-ray Experimentation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper reports on closed‑loop autonomous synchrotron X‑ray experiments performed on nanoparticle superlattices using a coding‑agent infrastructure. It presents detailed human‑agent and agent‑agent transcripts that allow an audit of decision provenance and the division of cognitive labor. Across three experiments, the study quantifies the proportion of messages involving interpretation, judgment, methodological input, and error corrections, showing how contributions shift as the experiments progress.

Fantastic Scientific Agents and How to Build Them: AgentBuild for Rietveld Refinement

arXiv:2606. 12834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As scientific workflows shift from deterministic executables to LLM-based agents, the development practices on offer, such as fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and prompt-and-go, bury the scientist's judgment.

Position: AI Agents in Scientific Teams Should Be Studied as Human-Agent Systems

arXiv:2608. 14667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model-based agents are increasingly deployed as collaborators in scientific discovery yet most current work focuses on the autonomous capabilities of "AI Scientists".
