Our article on assessing the selectivity of solid-state reactions for improved synthesis planning is available now in @ACSCentSci! Feeling excited as we get one step closer to achieving the "holy grail" of predictive materials synthesis. @KPatBerkeley

r2SCAN is a really great functional, but it's expensive. In our new paper we show how to mix energies from PBE and r2SCAN calculations to update materials databases that only requires a fraction of the total number of calculations.

DS03.03.03: "Data-driven Explorations of Materials Phase Stability for Improved Rational Design"
Thursday, May 12, 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM
Hawai'i Convention Center, Level 3, 313B
@RyanSKingsbury, Jianli Cheng, @martin_siron and @KPatBerkeley have also already given talks. If you missed them, don't fear, they're all still here and happy to chat about them!
