arXiv:2609.01076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Crystal generators can now propose periodic structures, but their control interfaces remain poorly matched to the mixed descriptors used in materials...
Molecular crystal structure prediction (CSP) is important in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic electronics, where subtle differences in molecular conformation and packing can strongly affect...
Packora is a flow-based generative model designed for molecular crystal structure prediction (CSP). It jointly predicts atomic coordinates and lattice parameters from molecular graphs, supporting multi-component and organometallic crystals and allowing conditioning on conformers, stereochemistry, and space-group data. In evaluations inspired by the CCDC CSP blind test, Packora outperforms baselines on generation and ranking benchmarks, achieving superior matched-budget coverage, higher experimental-form recovery, lower ranks, and faster convergence.
arXiv:2601. 09285v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials with broad applications such as carbon capture and drug delivery, yet accurately predicting their 3D structures remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2606. 14215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has inspired the vision of generating bespoke crystal materials directly from natural-language instructions, enabling users to design materials through intuitive, conversational interaction.
uFlowCSP is a MeanFlow-based crystal structure prediction model that learns the average probability‑flow velocity, enabling it to generate complete crystal structures in one to five network evaluations. It achieves inference speeds 5×–58× faster than diffusion and flow‑matching methods while matching or surpassing their performance, with a chemistry‑ and symmetry‑aware Transformer that uses canonical atom ordering and per‑token chemistry embeddings. On the MP‑20 benchmark, uFlowCSP attains comparable or higher accuracy with far fewer evaluations and significantly lower wall‑clock time, demonstrating improved accuracy per network evaluation.
