AutoMOOSE: An Agentic AI for Autonomous Phase-Field Simulation

arXiv:2603. 20986v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Phase-field modeling links thermodynamics and kinetics to microstructural evolution, but multiphysics frameworks such as MOOSE require expertise to construct inputs, manage campaigns, diagnose failures, and validate results.

Mimir: Physics-Grounded LLM Agents for Long-Horizon Irrigation Control

Mimir is a physics‑grounded large language model agent designed for long‑horizon irrigation control. It operates on two timescales: a fast scale that uses a structured physical interface and deterministic simulator to validate and refine LLM proposals before execution, and a slow scale that consolidates recurrent failure patterns into persistent contextual principles. Across multiple sites, crops, and years, Mimir achieves the lowest aggregate control cost and reduces irrigation usage by about 51% compared to historical schedules, while ablation studies confirm the importance of forward simulation, verified revision, and persistent context.

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.

Verifiable Hidden Dynamics Play: Generating Agentic RL Environments from Solved Mechanisms

The paper introduces VHD-Play, a pipeline that first samples and solves a mathematical model before generating agentic reinforcement learning environments, ensuring that dynamics and evaluation are aligned from the outset. This approach yields 3,300 diverse environments at a low cost and significantly improves the performance of a large language‑model agent (Qwen3.6‑35B‑A3B) across multiple diagnostic families and external benchmarks. The study demonstrates that stateful interaction is a key factor in learning gains and that scaling the training substrate can further enhance performance.

Grounded autonomous scrutiny at scale: emergent critique from reproduction of published computational physics papers

arXiv:2604. 12198v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous LLM agents now produce complete research artifacts in machine-learning sandboxes, but real computational physics is harder: experiments are first-principles calculations against re-runnable physical ground truth, and meaningful new work almost always builds on a key existing paper.
