While early studies focused on the exotic properties of relatively simple systems, typically the elements and binary compounds, much of the matter in the Universe is likely to be found in more complex mixtures.[1] At the same time, the promise of discovering materials with extreme properties relies on the ability of screen a wide variety of compounds.[2] I will reflect on why ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) is particularly suited to these challenges, and the importance of visualising the vast datasets we are now generating.[3]\n[1] Conway, Lewis J., Chris J.

He is the inaugural Sir Alan Cottrell Professor of Materials Science in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge. Previously he was Professor of Physics, University College London, and Reader in Physics, University of St Andrews. He has held EPSRC Fellowships, and a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. He is a lead developer of CASTEP and introduced both the GIPAW approach to the prediction of NMR spectra and Ab Initio Random Structure Searching (AIRSS). In 2015 he won the Rayleigh Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics, awarded for distinguished research in theoretical, mathematical or computational physics.\n
