SCALE: Simulation-Calibrated Amortized Learning for Energy Materials (A hybrid architecture connecting deterministic modeling, real-world data, and transformer-scale inference for accelerated energy-materials discovery)

SCALE (Simulation‑Calibrated Amortized Learning for Energy Materials) is a physics‑grounded learning architecture that fuses deterministic scientific operators, experimental calibration, and transformer‑scale inference to accelerate the discovery of energy materials. It converts expensive mechanistic computations and measured data into reusable models for rapid screening, ranking, inverse design, and active learning. In a case study on solid‑state metal‑hydride hydrogen‑storage, SCALE calibrated a phase‑equilibrium capacity operator against 381 experimental anchors, generated 5,000 teacher labels, and used a 2.90‑million‑parameter edge‑biased graph transformer to achieve high surrogate fidelity (MAE 0.0582 wt% H₂, RMSE 0.0833 wt% H₂, R² 0.9927, Pearson r 0.9963) while reducing per‑candidate screening cost by 10⁷–10⁸ times.

Robust and Efficient AI Frameworks for Scalable Material Design and Property Prediction

The thesis presents AI frameworks that accelerate crystalline materials discovery by tackling both crystal property prediction and crystal structure generation. It introduces CrysXPP, CrysGNN, and CrysMMNet for efficient, data‑sparse property prediction using graph autoencoding, self‑supervised pretraining, and multimodal learning. For generation, TGDMat is a text‑guided diffusion model that jointly learns lattice parameters, atomic types, and coordinates, enabling valid, stable, and conditionally generated periodic materials.

Inverse design of bespoke interatomic potentials via active learning by information-matching

arXiv:2606. 08148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interatomic potentials (IPs) enable large-scale atomistic simulations beyond the reach of first-principles methods, but their predictive reliability depends critically on the selection of training data, quantified uncertainty, and model expressiveness.

MatMind: A Structure-Activity Knowledge-Driven Generative Foundation Model for Materials Science

arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.

A Hierarchical Synergistic Deep Learning Framework Integrating Composition, Structure, and Ionic Transport for Solid-State Electrolyte Discovery

The paper presents a hierarchical deep‑learning framework that integrates compositional, structural, and transport models to screen solid‑state electrolytes. Four modules—L‑G‑DCNN, DenseGNN, MatterSim, and DeePMD—coordinate to evaluate thermodynamics, multi‑property performance, and kinetic transport, outperforming existing methods. Applied to over 30 million candidates, the workflow identifies 97 high‑performance materials, mainly halides, and links Li⁺ jump‑network connectivity to ionic conductivity while highlighting limits for oxide electrolytes.

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.
