AI model predicts atomic motion in molecular simulations, boosting speed nearly 100-fold
An international team of researchers has developed an artificial intelligence model that can predict the motion of atoms in molecular systems directly, dramatically speeding up simulations used in chemistry, physics, and materials science. The model, called MDtrajNet, bypasses the traditional step-by-step calculations of atomic positions, a process that can require millions of steps and substantial computing power.

XMaS beamline helps develop methane recovery technology
XMaS may sound like Christmas, but for physicists it is the name of a powerful X-ray beamline, and one that has now revealed, almost live, how copper atoms wander inside a catalyst critical for turning methane into methanol.

Scientists develop photocatalyst to produce hydrogen from water without chemicals
A team of scientists, including researchers from Jagiellonian University, has proposed a photocatalyst that produces hydrogen directly from water without chemical additives and can also operate with seawater. The breakthrough relies on single nickel atoms dispersed on a modified carbon-nitrogen material and a reaction pathway in which hydrogen peroxide appears only briefly as an intermediate.
