Beyond Structure: Revolutionising Materials Discovery via AI-Driven Synthesis Protocol-Property Relationships

ArXi:2605.00313v1 Announce Type: cross The current structure-centric paradigm in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven materials discovery, despite delivering thousands of candidate structures, is stalling at a critical barrier: the synthesizability gap. We argue that closing this gap demands a pivot to a synthesis-first paradigm in which executable synthesis protocols, not just atomic configurations, are treated as primary design variables.
