The D in DFT.
Experimenting with an interactive 3D electron density visualization. Pipeline does a quick SCF run to get electron density, then uses marching cubes to render isosurfaces at any chosen density level.
Right now it just shows one level of density at a time so you can easily see core and valence electrons independently, but working on a full density cloud view too.
I'm thinking it's possible to build an intuition from this view that will put humans back in the materials discovery loop.
For materials science researchers:
You can now ask us to host your model, code, or algorithm on Ouro. Send a repo or source code and we'll do the rest.
You shouldn’t need to be a software or infra engineers for others to use your work.

Anyone can share APIs to Ouro and charge per second.
1. Host on @modal
2. Figure out how much it costs you to run
3. Add a little on top
4. Profit
Join one of the open science teams and find a community of people to build on it.
New .cube viewer on Ouro. Explore 3D or 2D slices of charge density, spin density, bonding (deformation) density, and orbitals.
Heavily inspired by @gp_0013's work visualizing electron (+spin) density and s/o his latest post with @sfcompute, the blog aesthetic is beautiful.
We're looking into superconductors, permanent magnets, 2D materials, thermoelectrics, and more on Ouro.
Come check it out, maybe share what you're working on.
Here's one of my favorite crystals our magnet team has found (because it's pretty, not predicted to be very good though) ouro.foundation/files/mmoder…
The better you can visualize data the better you can understand it.
So new CIF and trajectory viewers on Ouro.
What is human-in-the-loop if not someone looking at the data and intuitively deciding what to do next.
Studying gadolinium tonight, trying to understand its potential as a strong permanent magnet.
Tricky SCF failed to converge after 132 minutes of compute 🥲
