Orbitol is a crystal generation model that uses Wyckoff-orbit tokens instead of atom tokens, enabling direct control over the space group of generated structures. It produces structures two to three orders of magnitude faster than symmetry‑aware baselines and achieves higher success rates in generating stable, novel structures that retain the requested symmetry. The authors also introduce SPARC, a score combining space‑group retention with distribution agreement, and demonstrate Orbitol’s effectiveness in generating high‑quality piezoelectric candidates with superior figures of merit.

The paper reports that autonomous agents can generate, test, and refute millions of candidate structure-plausibility laws, ultimately producing eight Plausibility Rules for Inorganic Structures (PRIS) that capture five key mechanisms of crystal stability. PRIS achieves high agreement with experimental structures (82–99%) and outperforms traditional Pauling rules, detecting damaged crystals with 87.9% accuracy and correlating strongly with synthesizability. By integrating PRIS with a synthesis score (PSS), the authors demonstrate significant reductions in expensive DFT validation and improved inverse-design efficiency, while also providing chemical explanations for failures and anomalies in crystal data.
arXiv:2602. 17176v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Crystal structure prediction (CSP), which aims to predict the 3D atomic arrangement of a crystal from its composition, is central to materials discovery and mechanistic understanding.
Crystal generators and tool-using agents propose structures faster than density functional theory (DFT) energy and phonon calculations or experiments can assess them. Deciding which candidates merit e...
