The LAMMPS tutorials initiative is now a @GitHub organization ! You can follow it here : github.com/lammpstutorials In the future, the organization plans to welcome more members to ensure better maintenance and continuity. The website is still visible here : lammpstutorials.github.io/
The LAMMPStutorials are now available as an article [š arxiv.org/abs/2503.14020]
Written in collaboration with Jake and Axel (LAMMPS developers), it is a significant improvement over the current online version (which is going to be updated eventually).

The LAMMPS Tutorials organization has a new logo, inspired by the official LAMMPS logo. This update comes as we prepare for an upcoming publication using LAMMPS, and a major update of the LAMMPS tutorial website. Check it out: github.com/lammpstutorials
We combined active machine learning and molecular simulations and discovered two novel stable quaternary phases for Cu-Ni-Si-Cr alloys : arxiv.org/abs/2410.17879 -- Collaboration with Ćngel DĆaz Carral (@ICP_Stuttgart) and Maria Fyta (@RWTH)

A new tutorial on the REACTER protocol in LAMMPS will soon be available in the LAMMPS tutorials website. For the first time, it is being written in collaboration with the LAMMPS developers. Follow the progress on GitHub: github.com/lammpstutorials/lā¦
On a side note, for GCMC calculations, GOMC is much faster than LAMMPS. This isn't surprising, as LAMMPS is primarily a Molecular Dynamics code and isn't optimized for Monte Carlo simulations.
Interested in performing grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations to measure adsorption in porous materials? Consider using the highly efficient GOMC parallel code. Check out some inputs I've shared: github.com/simongravelle/GOMā¦
Did you know that LAMMPS comes with a Graphical User Interface ? It's perfect for beginners. You can download precompiled versions here for Linux, MacOS, and Windows : download.lammps.org/testing/ Feel free to provide your feedback to the LAMMPS dev on matsci.org
Thanks to community support, the LAMMPS tutorials webpage has evolved constantly over the last 3 years with more than 1000 commits. Who knows what it will look like in 3 years? Check out the current version here: lammpstutorials.github.io/, or access all previous versions on GitHub.

In LAMMPS vernacular, a 'fix' is a command that performs specific tasks during a simulation, such as imposing constraints, applying forces, or modifying particle properties. More LAMMPS vocabulary are defined there : lammpstutorials.github.io/sp⦠Feel free to suggest any missing word.

Want to boost your efficiency in molecular simulations ? Consider learning some basics of Bash. Bash makes it easy to launch multiples simulations and interact with input files. A quick example was added to LAMMPS tutorials.

LAMMPS tutorials inputs and files are now more recognizable thanks to ascii-image-converter (github.com/TheZoraiz/ascii-iā¦). Completely useless, but I love it.
