Discovering physical mechanisms from experiment-simulation mismatches
Semiconductors
Summary
arXiv:2604.26703v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific discovery often begins where observation and prediction disagree. As computation and machine learning survey chemical space, experiment-simulation mismatches are exposed at scale, while tracing them to physical mechanisms remains expert-led. Here we present eXplainable DFT (XDFT), a self-evolving agent that turns this process into an executable search.
Why It Matters
This Semiconductors development reshapes the global chip supply chain and the race for advanced-node leadership. For Asia, it is a signal worth tracking: it shapes who supplies, who scales, and who sets the standard over the next five years.
