"When we set up DeepMind, I took inspiration for our research culture from many innovative organizations, including Bell Labs and the Apollo program, but also creative cultures like Pixar."
As for materials science, there's signs of life in graph nets https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/millions-of-new-materi.... Meanwhile maybe AlphaFold indicates a precedent towards deep learning systems that advance chemistry. I don't claim these are revolutions, but extrapolating into the future, they might be seen as the catalysts. Maybe.
Personally I think chemistry is going to trail a long way behind biology for a while (in terms of ML solutions). The data, supporting libraries, and funding doesn't seem to be on the same level.
