Check out our latest publication, @Larasfadillah has done an amazing job in tackling humidity stability of sulfide electrolytes in all solid-state batteries. This was one of the critical milestones for the Sinergia project @snsf_ch@unifrChemistryadvanced.onlinelibrary.wiley…
I am proud to announce that today @cusp_ai has closed a $100M Series A fundraise, co-led by @NEA and @Temasek, with participation from @nvidia’s NVentures, @SamsungVentures and @Hyundai_Worldwide.
What is the minimally effective way to construct a reservoir computer that can learn chaotic dynamics?
In my new paper, I demonstrate that deterministically constructed reservoirs with minimal topologies (MESNs) consistently outperform conventional random-initialized ESNs.

High-dimensional linear mappings, or linear layers, dominate both the parameter count and inference cost in most deep learning models. We propose a general-purpose drop-in replacement with a substantially better capacity - inference cost ratio. Check it out!🧵
Last week, while we were all busy at #psik2025, my paper with Hanna Türk got published in @PRXenergy. We used @lab_COSMO's #PET models to study the dynamic reconstruction of LPS surfaces, and how it impacts their structure, stability, and reactivity.

We studied the surface reconstruction using an accurate unconstrained machine learning model. Reconstructed surfaces become lower in energy, and the surface energy is less orientation dependent, making the Wulff shape more spherical.

Using molecular dynamics simulations with a #MachineLearning interatomic potential, scientists analyzed the surface dynamics of lithium thiophosphate and discovered new surface terminations with different properties than found in previous studies.

ALT An illustration of a density functional theory relaxed unit cell of ω-lithium thiophosphate with fully occupied d and b Wyckhoff sites and empty c sites shown as dashed black circles. On the right is a legend showing Li as a green sphere, PS4^-3 as a purple triangular prism with yellow spheres at the points, P5 as a purple sphere, S2- as a yellow sphere, and a dashed black circle as an empty site. The unit cell features four triangular prisms and 12 green spheres.
Started with some slides for AutoAdsorbate-ended up with an animated deep dive into surface site detection.
It works on any surface, no bulk symmetry needed.

📢For those still hanging out here, a new #cookbook recipe landed, demonstrating >2x speedup of *conservative* MD for the PET-MAD universal #MLIP using multiple time stepping. Check out the details at the other place, or head to atomistic-cookbook.org/examp…#compchem#machinelearning
This is a fantastic master program. Students of the international track spend 1 semester in Trieste ( at @ictpnews and @Sissaschool ), 1 in Turin ( @PoliTOnews ), and 1 in Paris (Sorbonne / Saclay / Paris-Cité ) final proj.

Last week, we continued @lab_COSMO's study of solid-state electrolytes, focusing on the properties of the LPS surfaces arxiv.org/abs/2504.11553. Many thanks to my office mate Hanna Tuerk who did a lot of the work
We studied the evolution of the SOAP descriptors of the tetrahedra on the surface, for an atomistic analysis of their dynamics. We time-averaged the SOAP vector to rule out the effects of fast-moving Li atoms
