🖥️ Hackathon mode ON! 🖥️ 👉 quantum-multiscale.org/hacka… Ethan, Xuanyu, Xinmao, and Zitong are spending the week coding side by side with the @MikPavanello and @OAndreussi groups and the broader Quantum Multiscale community as part of our joint @NSF project. Our group is currently working on #GPU acceleration of #MBX electrostatics and the integration of #MBX with the #ELECTRODE package in #LAMMPS. These developments will further expand the scope of #datadriven #manybody simulations, enabling realistic modeling of increasingly complex molecular systems and electrochemical interfaces. Stay tuned! 🏄‍♀️ #MBX resources: ✅ mbxsimulations.com ✅ github.com/paesanilab/MBX ✅ groups.google.com/g/mbx-user… @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChem @HDSIUCSD @SDSC_UCSD @Rutgers_Newark @BoiseState

What an awesome hackathon! It just ended. I am grateful to @NSF for support and for helping fostering a community of method developers. Coding Physics, Chemistry and Material Science methods was fun, exciting and meaningful. Hope we can do this again. Our community needs it!
The Q-MS Hackathon has concluded! 🎉🥳 We made lots of new friends and coded: 👉 quantum ML & computing 👉 ML/data-driven potentials 👉 continuum models 👉 orbital-free & relativistic DFT And shaped a global community of method developers! Thanks NSF CyberTraining for support!

ML for electronic structures is getting closer to replacing conventional solvers. It's a reality and it's only a matter of time. 👉#compchem, check out our newest contribution where we show ML models reach SCF-threshold accuracy pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
