We conclude our contribution with a prospective and optimistic look to the art of what might be possible with the advent of ASAT. We see a convergence between the digital or computational world and the experimental, and envisage ASAT as an enabler for the design and development of new materials. This potential arises because real-world 3D atomic-scale information will bring direct insights into thermodynamic, kinetic, and engineering properties. Moreover, when coupled with machine learning and other computational techniques, it may be envisaged that discovery-based procedures could follow that adjust the observed real-world atomistic configurations toward configurations that exhibit the desired engineering properties. This will fundamentally change the role of microscopy from a tool that provides inference to a materials behaviour to one that provides a quantitative assessment. This opens the pathway to atomic-scale materials informatics.
