Our work on modeling extended defects in MoS2 is now out in Small!

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We show how size and chemical environment affect nanopore geometry in MoS2, changing pore shapes from irregular to triangular.

Size and Chemical Environment Control Nanopore Geometry in 2D MoS2: From Irregular to Triangular Defects
This work addresses a longstanding challenge of developing a predictive framework for defect topologies in 2D MoS2. By combining density functional theory calculations, kinetic Monte Carlo simulation...

Hi #compchem,
Now calculate vibrational modes of a molecule using machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) such as UMA (OMol), MACE OMAT-0, MatterSim, 7Net and many more on MLIP Playground (huggingface.co/spaces/Manas...)
and yes there is a dark mode

The work throws light on transient and dynamic effects during electrocatalysis.
Transient Microkinetic Modeling of Electrochemical Reactions: Capturing Unsteady Dynamics of CO Reduction and Oxygen Evolution
Electrochemical processes, such as water splitting and carbon dioxide/monoxide (CO(2)) reduction, will play a prominent role in the ongoing quest for mitigating climate change. For such reactions, mic...

Reminder: I'm helping to organize a symposium on "Chemical Reaction Networks, Retrosynthesis, and Reaction Prediction" for the Fall ACS meeting. We welcome submissions in many areas of studies of reactivity, including reaction design and optimization, ML and datasets, benchmarks, etc. 🧪 ⚗️ #compchem
