What the Piece Argues

AI is accelerating materials discovery — but processing still decides whether predicted materials can actually be made and perform as intended. We advocate making processing a first-class design axis in models, datasets, and workflows, not an afterthought.

“The future of materials design lies not just in what we might make, but also in how we make it.”
