Materials have played a crucial role in the history of human civilization. The fact that materials like stone, bronze, steel, and silicon enjoy ages named after them is a testament to their importance. High-performance materials have greatly advanced our society and will continue to play a vital role. However, discovering these materials is non-trivial. In ancient times, alchemists occasionally discovered new materials by randomly mixing different materials at high temperatures. Therefore, the search for new materials relied on luck and experience, with few scientific principles to follow.
