ATOMIC is a fully autonomous microscopy system that uses large language models to conduct specialized material characterization without human experts or extensive training data.

• Eliminates the need for months/years of human expert training
• Autonomously navigates and examines 2D materials at atomic scale
• Achieves human-expert-level precision in identifying and analyzing materials
• Demonstrates zero-shot capabilities, requiring no specific training datasets

This breakthrough transforms materials engineering by dramatically accelerating research workflows, reducing dependence on scarce domain experts, and enabling more consistent, scalable characterization of novel materials.
