Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use MatterGen for supervised candidate generation in a research pilot.

Why
Independent execution supports practical use, while stability and crystallographic checks expose limits to reliable materials discovery.
Next
Check novelty and disorder, confirm candidates with DFT and phonon analysis, then measure synthesized materials.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Disorder and novelty misclassification
  • Many candidates fail dynamical-stability screening
  • ML screening requires higher-fidelity confirmation
  • Candidate-specific synthesis feasibility
  • Expert crystallographic review remains necessary
