arXiv:2606. 05050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Theoretical heterogeneous catalysis promises rapid catalyst discovery, yet computational and machine-learning predictions often deviate from experiment and stay confined to narrow material families, for want of a faithful, condition-aware catalytic simulator.

arXiv:2606. 30961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advances in deep learning architectures and representations have enabled ML-driven chemical property prediction, but state-of-the-art (SOTA) models have remained largely confined to independent codebases and lack support for diverse chemical species.

arXiv:2606. 15001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have enabled atomistic simulations across broad regions of chemical and materials space, but many remain computationally expensive and lack explicit electrostatics, limiting their use for systems governed by long-range interactions and electrical response.

arXiv:2606. 19152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Identifying the lowest-energy surface-adsorbate configuration is critical for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, yet exhaustive exploration with ab initio calculations is computationally prohibitive.

SoLiD26 is a curated dataset of 15.4 million first‑principles atomic structures for solid‑liquid interfaces, comprising up to 576 atoms and 15 chemical elements. The data were generated from density functional theory calculations, mainly ab initio molecular dynamics, and include aqueous coinage metal interfaces, electrode‑electrolyte systems, and bulk references. Each record contains atomic species, positions, cell parameters, periodic boundary conditions, potential energy, and atomic forces, all computed with VASP using the PBE functional and D3 dispersion corrections.

Identifying the lowest-energy surface-adsorbate configuration is critical for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, yet exhaustive exploration with ab initio calculations is computationally prohibitive. Machine-learning force fields (MLFFs) accelerate structural relaxation but leave the search over the vast configurational space a major bottleneck, and open-loop large language model (LLM) agents lack a physics-grounded feedback mechanism to correct erroneous initial guesses.
