A self-learning scientific agent for X-ray diffraction

Key points

• A central challenge for scientific agents is to turn analytical experience into reusable expertise grounded in physical evidence.1
• Together, these engines span phase identification, multiphase decomposition and physics-constrained whole-pattern modelling.1
• The agent resolves strongly overlapping reflections, quantifies a five-phase ancient Egyptian cosmetic, tracks lattice evolution in an operating battery and compares atomic configurations in a disordered oxide catalyst.1
• These results demonstrate how an integrated scientific tool ecosystem can support agents that extract structural knowledge from measurements while accumulating validated analytical expertise that transfers to new samples.1
