chemistry

Definition

Chemistry appears as an application domain: predicting molecular properties, proposing synthesis routes, searching materials space. What sets it apart from most benchmarks is that the verdict is not computational — a proposed molecule or route has to be made in a lab, and plausible-looking outputs are frequently not synthesizable. Such work is worth reading for whether anything was validated experimentally.
