Adsorption Energy of Water on 2D Periodic hBN Monolayer using TURBOMOLE and TmoleX [TUTORIAL]
YouTube video by Phys Whiz Adsorption Energy of Water on 2D Periodic hBN Monolayer using TURBOMOLE and TmoleX [TUTORIAL]

Hi #compchem #compchemsky
Tired of costly 2D materials simulations in VASP?
Huge vacuum + dipole corrections = unnecessary compute time.

TURBOMOLE eliminates the complications entirely

Watch the full workflow (hBN monolayer + Water adsorption) in our latest TmoleX tutorial: youtu.be/6iXuo1DzqB4

Most folks know TURBOMOLE for molecules, but its periodic DFT engine is ridiculously good too. With TURBOMOLE simulating materials is a breeze and you don’t need to be a command-line sorcerer to make it work.

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

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

So will DFT lmao🀣
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 β€” 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 PlaygroundπŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
