Chubuk: AI cannot reason to breakthrough superconductors from training data alone
“I think it's still true that it would be difficult to just reason your way into a much better superconductor. I actually would guess that there's a law out there that we haven't discovered yet that says that you can't just look at your training set that's diff…”
Chubuk: Superconductivity moonshot will yield independently valuable automated lab capabilities
“To discover a exciting superconductor, we probably have to develop so many capabilities on the way there that's By themselves very useful. For example, automated synthesis, automated characterization, being able to model or predict high temperature superconduc…”
Çubuk: DeepMind’s next materials goal is predicting finite temperature stability
“One of our next goals is to predict not just zero Kelvin stability, but finite temperature stability, and this is much harder because at finite temperature, there's entropy effects, and we're interested in, you know, finding not just materials that are stable,…”
Lessin: Room-temperature superconductors would effectively solve the climate crisis
“Candidly, it's like people are so worried about the climate crisis. It's like, you want to solve climate? Yeah. Like get like room stable super, superconductors. Like the downstream effects of that are like so good for climate change.”
