Some non-MOF content today to clean your palate.

Want 70x fast, 2x accurate Hessians for any equivariant machine learning force field? We got you!

#compchemsky #chemsky #machinelearning #mlff
What do transition state search, geometry relaxation, zero point energy corrections, and extrema classification have in common? They all require Hessians!

The problem is, accurate Hessians are really expensive, even with MLIPs. We say, just shoot 'em from the HIP! 🤠

I just ran my first #MLFF in the garden. It works like magic! #CompChem
🚀 We asked: What if the time to set up and run the best Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials (MLIPs) took seconds, not days?

Today, we release the MLIP Garden v0.1.

What you can do now:
- Experiment ~instantly
- Scale deployments on experimental NSF and Dept of Energy systems

Ever get tired of tiny timesteps bottlenecking your MD simulations?

We show how to train a model for large-timestep Hamiltonian dynamics directly on standard MLFF datasets. 𝗡𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗻𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 needed!

Does anyone have the story behind the MLFF (machine learning force field) vs MLIP (machine learning interatomic potential) naming split? #compchem

Our new preprint is out: Extending the RANGE of Graph Neural Networks: Relaying Attention Nodes for Global Encoding.
arxiv.org/abs/2502.13797
We present a new architecture to address the problem of "short-sightedness" of MLFF based on GNN, which outperform in speed and accuracy Ewald-based GNN.
Extending the RANGE of Graph Neural Networks: Relaying Attention Nodes for Global Encoding
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are routinely used in molecular physics, social sciences, and economics to model many-body interactions in graph-like systems. However, GNNs are inherently local and can s...

For a MLFF, I’d think Cr2 isn’t really much harder than H2. If it’s in training data, it’s easy. If not, it seems impossible to guess from any other bond dissociation. Smoothness is a whole another issue of course

Force fields with QM accuracy and MM speed are the theoretical biophysicist's Philosopher's Stone. I used ANIX2 with OpenFF and OpenMM. The results were insightful but at the expense of huge computational costs. #MLFF #biophysics #moleculardynamics
On the design space between molecular mechanics and machine learning force fields
A force field as accurate as quantum mechanics (QMs) and as fast as molecular mechanics (MMs), with which one can simulate a biomolecular system efficiently eno

I tend to use "interatomic potential" when referring to a particular functional form, such as Lennard-Jones, Buckingham, Morse... "Force field" is more flexible, so I sit in camp #MLFF

An excellent read for MLFF/MLIP people: "Benchmarking of Universal Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials for Structural Relaxation"
openreview.net/pdf?id=fNyXC...

Simple test sets of structures are not enough. A useful model needs to be able to start from a bad structure and find a good one!

Just another data point: the upcoming ORCA 6.1 (release next Tuesday 17/06!) will come with a simpler interface for all kinds of MLFF, including a tutorial for the UMA.

One can use it to optimize geometries, run GOAT, NEB or anything else.

Hope it helps!

A persistent challenge in atomistic modelling is combining quantum-level accuracy with the efficiency needed for large, complex simulations. Our pretrained lightweight SO3LR MLFF is a step toward this goal.

Recipe for Flat Bands in Pyrochlore Materials: A Chemist’s Perspective
Materials in which atoms are arranged in a pyrochlore lattice have found renewed interest, as, at least theoretically, orbitals on that lattice can form flat bands. However, real materials often do not behave according to theoretical models, which is why there has been a dearth of pyrochlore materials exhibiting flat band physics. Here, we examine the conditions under which ideal “pyrochlore bands” can exist in real materials and how to have those close to the Fermi level. We find that the simple model used in the literature does not apply to the bands at the Fermi level in real pyrochlore materials. However, surprisingly, we find that certain oxide compounds that have oxygen orbitals inside the pyrochlore tetrahedra do exhibit near-ideal pyrochlore bands near the Fermi level. We explain this observation by a generalized tight-binding model, including the oxygen orbitals. We further classify all known pyrochlore materials based on their crystal structure, band structure, and chemical characteristics and propose materials to study in future experiments.
