AI-enhanced computational chemistry
Our recent article in npj Computational Materials presents an efficient ML protocol for accelerating trajectory surface hopping dynamics, while tackling many key issues making machine learning of excited states difficult. The protocol introduces a new machine learning interatomic potential based …
Are universal machine learning potentials for excited states possible? Such a potential would be a major breakthrough — enabling key applications like the design of advanced photomaterials. We’ve already seen successful universal potentials for ground states — ANI-1ccx, MACE-OFF, our …

The new release of MLatom, version 3.16.1, provides an interface to DFTB+ and performance improvements. So even if you are not interested in DFTB, please upgrade your MLatom installation for faster calculations via pip: New release allows seamless execution of …
You can now use MLatom to perform TDDFT and TDA calculations with MLatom and parse Gaussian output files.This can be useful for UV/vis spectra simulations via single-point convolution and nuclear-ensemble approach (NEA).We also welcome a new contributor to MLatom: Vignesh Kumar …

In our latest tutorial we show how MLatom can be used to simulate UV/vis spectra via single-point convolution and nuclear-ensemble approach (NEA). ML can also be used to increase precision of the NEA spectra at reduced cost. You can watch the detailed introduction and demonstration in the video. All …
Density functional theory (DFT) methods are by far the most popular approaches for electronic structure calculations. However, the “best” functional remains elusive despite the increasing variety of functionals and continuous efforts to improve their computational accuracy. In our work published in Advanced …

AIQM2 is the long-awaited successor of the highly successful AIQM1 (see Nat. Commun. paper). It has overall improved accuracy and much better performance for transition states, where it produces high-quality geometries and barrier heights: it is better than B3LYP/6-31G* but orders of …
AIQM2 is out: better and faster than B3LYP for reaction simulations! Read more »
A year ago, we released MLatom 3, making MLatom the fully-fledged Python package. This shift endowed MLatom with much of its current flexibility that also allowed us to rapidly do method development and new implementations: in one year we had …
