The discovery of novel materials drives industrial innovation, although the pace of discovery tends to be slow due to the infrequency of "Eureka!" moments. These moments are typically tangential to the original target of the experimental…
Heterogeneous catalysis is an example of a complex materials function, governed by an intricate interplay of several processes, e.g., the different surface chemical reactions, and the dynamic re-structuring of the catalyst material at…
Machine learning can accelerate materials discovery. Models perform impressively on many benchmarks. However, strong benchmark performance does not imply that a model learned chemistry. I test a concrete alternative hypothesis: that…
