HiPoly: a hierarchical polymer-native AI framework for property prediction and generative design

HiPoly is a polymer-native AI framework that uses a three-level hierarchical graph architecture built on the G2RINS representation to process complete polymer descriptions. It encodes stochastic inter-monomer connectivity, composition, and molecular weight directly within its architecture, enabling end-to-end workflows from experimental data to property prediction, generative design, and physics-based validation. The framework achieves state-of-the-art accuracy for thermophysical properties of multi-component polymer systems and demonstrates generative design by discovering sustainable, PFAS-free alternatives with target surface-energy properties.

Data-knowledge dual-driven intelligent framework for full-chain, experiment-efficient synthesis of 2D dendrites

arXiv:2603. 16959v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Exemplified by the chemical vapor deposition growth of two-dimensional dendrites, which has potential applications in catalysis and presents a parameter-intensive, data-scarce and reaction process-complex model problem, we devise a machine intelligence-empowered framework for the full chain support of material synthesis, encompassing rapid process optimization, accurate customized synthesis, and comprehensive mechanism deciphering.

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.

Co-PiLOT: Constrained Physics-Informed Latent Optimization for Target-Driven Inverse Design

Co-PiLOT is a latent optimization framework that maps candidate physical structures through a generative encoder-decoder, using the decoder as a learned validity prior and performing physics-informed black-box optimization in latent space. It is applied to the inverse design of magnesium alloy microstructure/texture, employing a vision transformer encoder paired with latent diffusion, diffusion transformer, and rectified-flow transformer decoders trained on an 80,000-sample EBSD dataset to produce a minimal bottleneck representation. The MERIDIAN optimizer, driven by a deep-kernel Gaussian process and failure-aware feasibility prediction, achieves the best target-driven objective score within 160 simulations, reducing relative target error by 3–22% compared to seven baseline methods.
