Agent-MD: Selective LLM Intervention with Event-Driven Escalation for Stateful GCMC--MD Campaigns

arXiv:2608. 07637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running molecular simulation campaigns require repeated continuation from saved states, provenance-aware progression, adaptive assessment, and occasional interpretation of workflow conditions that cannot be resolved safely by fixed rules.

El Agente Potente: High-Throughput Agentic Atomistic Simulations

El Agente Potente is an agentic system that integrates typed execution graphs and a coding mode to facilitate machine‑learning interatomic potential (MLIP) driven atomistic simulations. Typed execution graphs offer structured, provenance‑aware workflows where large language models handle planning and routing while deterministic Python code performs scientific computation and validation. The coding agent builds customized workflows for tasks needing procedural flexibility, invoking existing Potente functions for supported calculations. The system is demonstrated across materials discovery, energy‑landscape exploration, adsorption, and catalytic reaction workflows, with benchmarks on reproducibility and LLM token cost.

DREAMS: Density Functional Theory Based Research Engine for Agentic Materials Simulation

arXiv:2507. 14267v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can execute long-horizon scientific workflows, but their numerical outputs are difficult to trust: agents lose context, game verification checks, and can produce large volumes of plausible yet invalid results.

El Agente Gr\'afico: A Semantic Execution Runtime for Scientific Agents

arXiv:2602. 17902v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can plan scientific workflows and generate code, but these capabilities do not specify how scientific state is validated, transferred and recorded across heterogeneous computational and experimental operations.

AutoDFT: A Closed-Loop Multi-Agent Framework for Autonomous DFT Calculations

arXiv:2605. 26179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) serves as the basis for computational discovery in materials science and chemistry, yet each calculation demands extensive human effort: adjusting algorithms when convergence stalls, revising plans when unexpected physics emerges, and inserting steps as intermediate results reshape the problem.

Accelerating Scientific Research with Gemini in the Real-World

The paper extends Co‑Scientist, a Gemini‑based multi‑agent system, and validates it in real‑world scientific settings. In materials science it designed a safe precursor route for MXenes and achieved single‑attempt growth of monolayer MoS₂, MoSe₂, and WS₂. In biology it predicted swarming phenotypes of engineered E. coli, and in computer science it discovered a superior inference‑time scaling architecture for HealthBench. A double‑blind study with 30 experts showed that Co‑Scientist’s reliability modules reduce hallucination and plagiarism while improving research safety.

PolyJarvis: An LLM-Orchestrated Agent for Automated All-Atom Molecular Dynamics of Amorphous Homopolymers

PolyJarvis is an LLM‑orchestrated platform that automates all‑atom molecular dynamics simulations of amorphous homopolymers. It generates validated run plans, constructs systems with Enhanced Monte Carlo, runs dynamics in LAMMPS, and extracts target properties, all while handling failures within a fixed decision budget. Validation on seven polymers—PE, aPS, sPVC, PLLA, PEG, PEEK, and PSU—showed that 13 of 19 property comparisons met experimental acceptance criteria, though some PCFF‑based systems exhibited density and glass‑transition discrepancies.
