Definition

ElementsClaw is an agentic materials-discovery framework from alibaba DAMO Academy that orchestrates Large Atomic Model (LAM) tools finetuned from the 1B-parameter Elements model with LLMs for semantic reasoning and workflow automation.

Architecture

  • LAM layer: atomic-scale numerical computation (superconductor screening, property prediction)
  • LLM layer: literature reasoning, candidate prioritization, experimental target selection
  • Closed loop: computational screening → lab synthesis → experimental verification

  • Screened 2.4M equilibrium crystals in 28 GPU hours
  • 68,000 high-confidence candidates identified
  • Rediscovered 66 verified superconductors absent from SuperCon3D database
  • Dataset open-sourced: developer.damo-academy.com/material

Tc values vary slightly across secondary sources (6.5K vs 6.8K on HuggingFace). Use arXiv 2604.23758 as primary.
