Abstract

Stone, Iron, Plastic, Silicon: ages of human history are defined by materials that solve civilizational problems and transform societies. These age-defining materials represent breakthroughs in mastery over matter: mechanical shaping, high-temperature chemistry, polymerization, and purification. The next age will be defined not by a single material, but by our ability to assemble molecules into bespoke solutions for today’s great challenges and finally unlock sustainable abundance.
