With the ever-increasing demand for atomistic structures representative of real-life systems as well as the ad-vent of exascale computers, it has now become necessary and possible to use advanced global optimization (GO) techniques to intelligently sample the potential energy surface (PES). Given the previous studies…

In chemical kinetics research, kinetic models containing hundreds of species and tens of thousands of elementary reactions are commonly used to understand and predict the behavior of reactive chemical systems. Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG) is a software suite developed to automatically generate such models by…

The open-source package scikit-learn provides various machine learning algorithms and data processing tools, including the Pipeline class, which allows users to prepend custom data transformation steps to the machine learning model. We introduce the MolPipeline package, which extends this concept to chemoinformatics by…

Bayesian optimization (BO) has become increasingly important for experimental optimization across scientific domains, yet implementing BO pipelines requires significant programming expertise and familiarity with specialized frameworks. This creates a barrier for domain experts who could benefit from BO but lack the…

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) are next-generation research and development platforms for closed-loop, autonomous experimentation that combine ideas from artificial intelligence, robotics, and high-performance computing. A critical component of SDLs is the decision-making algorithm used to prioritize experiments to…

Protein conformational landscapes contain the functionally relevant information useful for understanding biological processes. Mapping out conformational landscapes provides valuable insights into protein behaviors and biological phenomena, and has relevance to therapeutic design. While experimental structural biology…

The python package ArchOnML ("Archive-On-Machine-Learning") is introduced, which can perform virtual screening projects covering up to millions of structural derivatives through the use of Kernel Ridge Regression models. It supports the full workflow of setting up calculation inputs for external quantum chemistry…

Fragment-based quantum chemistry offer a means to circumvent the nonlinear computational scaling of conventional electronic structure calculations by partitioning a large calculation into smaller subsystems, then considering the many-body interactions between them. Variants of this approach have been used to…

Machine learning methods offer the opportunity to design new functional materials on an unprecedented scale however building the large, diverse databases of molecules on which to train such methods remains a daunting task. Automated computational chemistry modelling workflows are therefore becoming essential tools in…

The discovery of optimal conditions of chemical reactions is a labor-intensive, time-consuming task that requires exploring a high-dimensional parametric space. Historically the optimization of chemical reactions has been performed by manual experimentation guided by human intuition and Design of Experiments where one…

Compliance with good research data management practices means trust in the integrity of the data, and it is achievable by a full control of the data gathering process. In this work, we demonstrate tooling which bridges these two aspects, and illustrate its use in a case study of automated battery cycling. We…

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are essential for studying the time evolution of molecular systems. Still, their efficiency is often bottlenecked by file-based Inter-Process Communication (IPC) between MD and Electronic Structure (ES) programs. We present a socket-based IPC implementation that dramatically…

We present Swarm-CG, a versatile software for the automatic parametrization of bonded parameters incoarse-grained (CG) models. By coupling state-of-the-art metaheuristics to Boltzmann inversion, Swarm-CG performs accurate parametrization of bonded terms in CG models composed of up to 200 pseudoatomswithin 4h-24h on…

In the simulation of molecular systems, the underlying force field (FF) model plays an extremely important role, determining the reliability of the simulation. However, the quality of the state-of-the-art molecular force fields is still unsatisfactory in many cases, and the FF parameterization process largely relies on…
