👉Also Sorbonne bsky.app/profile/sorb... pulled out of 'THE' University Ranking 👇

Important step in times of massive, systematic gaming by Universities, being a main incentive for Hyperprolific Publishing, Citation Cartels, Paper Mills & Junk Science!

Why Sorbonne pulled out of university ranking
France’s Sorbonne University plans to leave the Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings, adding its name to a growing number of universities rejecting lists that play one institution off against another...

Skala is now available to everyone!
Why are we releasing it? Because we’re not just aiming to publish a cool paper — we’re on a mission to bring DFT to chemical accuracy using deep learning. And to make real progress, we need the community’s feedback.

The wait is over! Microsoft Research is sharing Skala, the new exchange-correlation functional, marking a major milestone in the accuracy/cost trade-off in DFT. Help us learn from your testing so we can improve. Available on Azure AI Foundry and GitHub. msft.it/6016sFDLY

So proud of this team and of this work!!
🚀 After two+ years of intense research, we’re thrilled to introduce Skala — a scalable deep learning density functional that hits chemical accuracy on atomization energies and matches hybrid-level accuracy on main group chemistry — all at the cost of semi-local DFT ⚛️🔥🧪🧬

Very excited and proud of this incredible team effort!
Microsoft researchers achieved a breakthrough in the accuracy of DFT, a method for predicting the properties of molecules and materials, by using deep learning. This work can lead to better batteries, green fertilizers, precision drug discovery, and more. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

MatterSim from great MSR colleagues is really accurate!
📣 We've benchmarked 7 leading universal Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials on their ability to predict phonon properties across ~10,000 semiconductors

Some models are already matching DFT accuracy (MatterSim) while others need work (ORB, OMat24)
