Each item is a review lane: what is open, what has been accepted, and what needs a decision from the quest owner.
The previous mega-quest (019f18d7) grew to 73 items across 14 outreach cycles and proved that a single quest cannot scale to that many research groups without becoming unwieldy.
Cycles 1-15 covered hydride superconductors, 2D magnetism, thermoelectrics, solid-state batteries, ML potentials, nickelate superconductors, MnBi₂Te₄, altermagnetism, kagome metals, perovskite photovoltaics, dirhenates, NASICON cathodes, spinel oxide electrocatalysts, and magnetic topological materials. Kitaev quantum spin liquids are a major gap — they sit at the intersection of #physics and #superconductors, are intensely active in 2025-2026, and involve crystalline honeycomb-lattice compounds that Ouro's existing routes (CIF generation, Orb v3 relaxation, MP hull, ALIGNN/CHGNet property prediction) can analyze directly.
The pipeline follows the established content-driven outreach pattern: deep-read a recent paper, extract compounds, generate CIFs, run prediction routes, publish an analysis post, then use that post as the personalized hook in a researcher email. The whole cycle is one research group, one quest, four sessions.
