Amidst the #CCSC2026 posts, here’s a TBT #JournalClub from Gregor Lauter on the assessment of #MLIP for #GCMC gas adsorption in #framework materials by Jack Evans www.grynova-ccc.org/journal-club...
#CCSC2026 day 1 opened big: Anatole von Lilienfeld & @leecronin.bsky.social provoked our thoughts on how to explore the magnificent #chemical #space
Stoked to be at the #CCSC2026 in Munich and exploring the #chemical space with good friends! This evening, do not miss #poster #16 by the brilliant @clarakirkvold.bsky.social on our PHuN #ML representation for materials!
Our perspective, Connecting the concepts of quantum state tomography and molecular representations for machine learning", is now published in Digital Discovery🎉 Here, we explore how ideas from quantum state tomography can inform representation learning in molecular ML 🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D5DD...

🎉Excited to share our new perspective: “Connecting the concepts of quantum state tomography and molecular representations for machine learning” — now on ChemRxiv! Link: doi.org/10.26434/che... [1/5]
Excited to share ReSolved - a #GNN for predicting #redox potentials of organic molecules in diverse #solvents, by @chemwedding.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Multi-Solvent Graph Neural Network for Reduction Potential Prediction Across the Chemical Space
Reduction potentials of redox-active molecules and materials are essential descriptors of their performance as catalysts, antioxidants, electrode materials, etc. For a given species, its practical applications often span a range of solvent environments, which profoundly impact its redox properties. In this work, we present a message passing graph neural network architecture with a Set Transformer readout trained on ca. 20,000 reduction potentials of chemically diverse closed- and open-shell organic redox-active molecules (the “ReSolved” data set), computed using a rigorously benchmarked density functional theory procedure. The predictor model affords high accuracy with mean absolute errors of ca. 0.2 eV and is uniquely able to generalize to previously unseen solvents. We couple this architecture with an evolutionary algorithm to inverse-design synthetically accessible candidate molecules with target reduction potentials for several battery-related practical applications.

The #JournalClub from Lewis was an early bday present for me as it discusses one of my absolute favourite fundamental phenomena in chemical #reactivity - #catalysis by #electric_field! www.grynova-ccc.org/journal-club...
I've written two @nature.com stories this week looking at whether EU efforts to lure US scientists are working 🧪 They are: the number of US applicants wanting to take up ERC grants has doubled. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
US applications for prestigious European research grants surge
Rush for funds to relocate laboratories to Europe is latest sign of a US brain drain.
