Shyamal Anadkat Highlights Long Timelines for New Materials

Shyamal Anadkat posted that the lithium-ion battery was demonstrated in 1965 and reached ordinary consumers around 2005. He added that carbon fiber took about fifty years to travel from a lab to a commercial airplane. These timelines are limited by verification and doing experiments on human timescales, he stated. Anadkat also referenced that in late '23, GDM GNoME predicted 2.2 million new crystal structures. The post comes from the applied AI engineer formerly at OpenAI on the evals team.
