In progress
The National Academies' Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) hosts an annual workshop. In 2026, an ad hoc planning committee will organize a public workshop that presents a high-level synopsis for scientists and policymakers into the recent use of machine learning and other AI tools for research into metastable materials, e.g., kinetically-trapped materials that retain remarkable and useful properties such as superconductivity or unprecedented hardness when outside of the extreme conditions of their thermodynamic ground state.
