- Alibaba's Damo Academy unveiled the industry's first AI agent for discovering superconducting materials.
- The AI agent, named Elements Claw, identified four previously unknown superconductors, verified in lab experiments.
- The system screened 2.4 million stable crystal structures in 28 hours and narrowed down 68,000 candidates.
- It was developed in collaboration with Renmin University and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
- Superconductor discovery traditionally relies on trial-and-error due to incomplete theoretical frameworks.
