Excited to share our article on recent advances in TURBOMOLE for periodic & molecular DFT! #compchemsky

Special milestone: some of the final results from my PhD are now published + my 10th paper
Grateful to Prof. Marek Sierka & amazing collaborators for the oppurtunity!

Size and Chemical Environment Control Nanopore Geometry in 2D MoS2: From Irregular to Triangular Defects This work addresses a longstanding challenge of developing a predictive framework for defect topologies in 2D MoS2. By combining density functional theory calculations, kinetic Monte Carlo simulation...

Our work on modeling extended defects in MoS2 is now out in Small!

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We show how size and chemical environment affect nanopore geometry in MoS2, changing pore shapes from irregular to triangular.

Hi #compchem,
Now calculate vibrational modes of a molecule using machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) such as UMA (OMol), MACE OMAT-0, MatterSim, 7Net and many more on MLIP Playground (huggingface.co/spaces/Manas...)
and yes there is a dark mode

30.06.2025 02:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

but haven't checked the performance for different charges though so can't say about that

So will DFT lmao๐Ÿคฃ
You need to find the spin that gives the lowest energy, just like DFT. What I will agree with though is that for compounds out of the training set it may not give the correct spin for the ground state.

What I like the most about the UMA (OMol25) model is that it can take spin and charge as the input. This is a game changer as it allows simulating a large vareity of compounds with correct spin multiplicity. Seems to be quite accurate uptil now in my tests.

Recently, MetaAI released the OMol25 dataset and the UMA model โ€” a powerful foundation model for #compchem community.

Now, you can try UMA and 16+ other MLIPs (incl. MACE) on your own systems with an app that I developed: MLIP Playground๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
