As for materials science, there's signs of life in graph nets https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/millions-of-new-materials-discovered-with-deep-learning/ 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.
