MIT professor to showcase autonomous AI agent swarms for metamaterials discovery

ProfBuehler of MIT will give a plenary talk, "Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Discovery," at the 2026 MIT R&D Conference on Nov 17, 2026.
He argues scientific discovery is becoming an integrated end-to-end process: AI systems now build instruments, explore, construct world models, derive insights into material behavior, and generate manufacturable designs. His talk will feature autonomous swarms of AI agents that collaboratively study complex metamaterials, test ideas, build on what they learn, and connect reasoning to the physical world — enabling flexible, distributed discovery across disciplines and organizations.
