In this paper he and the co-authors develop CHargeNet, which is a universal machine-learned potential to model materials much faster than with typical first-principles methods. The need to quickly discover new materials and to understand their underlying physics in the presence of complex electron interactions calls for advanced simulation tools. Deng et al. propose…

Small quantities of zinc (10 ppb) added to the water that cools the nuclear fuel and transports heat from the fission reaction to a heat exchanger significantly decrease the corrosion rate of the piping, which is made of a nickel-chromium alloy, Alloy 600. In her PhD research, Yifan Jiang used a combination of electrochemical tests…
