Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The emerging interdisciplinary research of material intelligence through the convergence of artificial intelligence, robotic platforms, and material informatics has revolutionized the field of chemistry and material science. This shift enables precision and intelligence in materials research to avoid the problems of trial-and-error synthesis and labor-intensive characterization. The aim of this review is to present a comprehensive methodology that unifies three interlinked domains: data-guided rational design ("reading"), automation-enabled controllable synthesis ("doing"), and autonomy-facilitated inverse design ("thinking"). We critically examine how the integration of materials common discipline (i.e., rational design, controllable synthesis, inverse design) with interdisciplinary research (i.e., data, automation, autonomy), with an emphasis on cutting-edge research of artificial intelligence and robotics, collectively shape a closed-loop next paradigm of material intelligence, revolutionizing experimental, theoretical, software-driven and data-driven paradigms. Ultimately, this paper discusses how these insights drive the new paradigm of materials research, which seamlessly combines database, robotics, artificial intelligence, and even embodied intelligence to empower the full potential of material intelligence.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
