Agentic Fusion of Large Atomic and Language Models to Accelerate Superconductor Discovery

Artificial intelligence has accelerated materials discovery through high-throughput prediction and generation, yet the decision problem remains a formidable bottleneck. While current AI systems readily propose millions of candidates, navigating the decision regarding a viable experimental target requires resolving multi-dimensional judgments across atomic-scale numerical computation and high-level semantic reasoning. Here we present ElementsClaw, an agentic framework for materials discovery that orchestrates a suite of Large Atomic Model (LAM) tools finetuned from our proposed 1-billion-parameter model Elements for numerical computation, while leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for semantic reasoning. Applied to superconductors, ElementsClaw rediscovers 66 experimentally verified superconductors that are absent from the standard SuperCon3D database. Scaling to 2.4 million equilibrium crystals, ElementsClaw identifies 68,000 high-confidence candidates in just 28 GPU hours (https://developer.damo-academy.com/material), expanding known superconducting space by orders of magnitude compared to datasets curated over decades. Guided by the agent's reasoning, we experimentally synthesize and verify four novel superconductors: the motif-guided Zr3ScRe8 (Tc = 6.5 K), the de novo generated HfZrRe4 (Tc = 5.9 K), the structurally reinterpreted Zr4VRe7 (Tc = 3.5 K), and the database-latent Hf21Re25 (Tc = 2.5 K). Together, our results establish a knowledge integrated, autonomously orchestrated, and experimentally grounded paradigm for materials discovery.
