The biological molecules delivered to Earth on the board of meteorites and comets were called one of the possible causes of the origin of life. Therefore, our understanding of the routes of formation of biomolecules in space should shed the light on the possibility of the existence of habitable extrasolar planets. The large abundance of organic molecules is found in the space regions with the lowest temperature. Different routes of the organics formation in these areas were suggested. In this article, we demonstrate that complex organic molecules same as important biological molecules can be formed due to the reaction of C atoms with the mantels of molecular ices covering refractory dust grains present in the interstellar medium (ISM). Having four valence electrons, C atoms act as glue joining simple non-organic molecules and converting them into organic matter. The formation of many molecules is barrierless and thus can happen at low temperature. The barrierless reaction C + NH3 + CO -> NH2CHCO attracts particular interest. The product of this reaction is an isomer of the central residue of a peptide chain and expected to be efficiently formed in the translucent molecular clouds. The polymerization of these molecules leads to the formation of proteins that according to some theories are life's first molecules. Considering a high abundance of atomic carbon in the ISM, we expect a high efficiency of the formation of a large variety of different organic molecules, and show why the amount of organic material formed by condensation of atomic carbon may be underestimated.

Recent knowledge of Galactic dynamics suggests that stars radially move on the disk when they encounter transient spiral arms that are naturally generated during the process of disk formation. We argue that a large movement of the solar system from the innermost disk over its lifetime is inferred from a comparison of the solar composition with those of solar twins within the Galactic chemical evolution framework. The implied metal-rich environment at the Sun's birthplace and formation time is supported by measured silicon isotopic ratios in presolar silicon carbide grains. We perform numerical simulations of the dynamical evolution of disk stars in a Milky Way-like galaxy to identify the lifetime trajectory of the solar system. We find that a solar system born in the proximity of the Galactic bulge could travel to the current locus by the effect of radial migration induced by several major encounters with spiral arms. The frequent feature we identify is the repeated passages of stars inside the same spiral arm owing to the wobble of stars traveling in and out of the spiral arms. We predict that such episodes are evidenced in the Earth's geological history as snowball Earth and that their occurrence times are within our prediction. In particular, the stellar motion that vertically oscillates during passages through spiral arms occasionally leads to a split into two discrete passage episodes with an interval of several tens of Myr, implying two relevant snowball Earth events that occurred in rapid succession (~7.2 and 6.5 hundred Myr ago).

Catalyst discovery and optimization is key to solving many societal and energy challenges including solar fuels synthesis, long-term energy storage, and renewable fertilizer production. Despite considerable effort by the catalysis community to apply machine learning models to the computational catalyst discovery process, it remains an open challenge to build models that can generalize across both elemental compositions of surfaces and adsorbate identity/configurations, perhaps because datasets have been smaller in catalysis than related fields. To address this we developed the OC20 dataset, consisting of 1,281,040 Density Functional Theory (DFT) relaxations (~264,890,000 single point evaluations) across a wide swath of materials, surfaces, and adsorbates (nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen chemistries). We supplemented this dataset with randomly perturbed structures, short timescale molecular dynamics, and electronic structure analyses. The dataset comprises three central tasks indicative of day-to-day catalyst modeling and comes with pre-defined train/validation/test splits to facilitate direct comparisons with future model development efforts. We applied three state-of-the-art graph neural network models (CGCNN, SchNet, Dimenet++) to each of these tasks as baseline demonstrations for the community to build on. In almost every task, no upper limit on model size was identified, suggesting that even larger models are likely to improve on initial results. The dataset and baseline models are both provided as open resources, as well as a public leader board to encourage community contributions to solve these important tasks.

Scalable and cost-effective solutions to renewable energy storage are essential to addressing the world's rising energy needs while reducing climate change. As we increase our reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, which produce intermittent power, storage is needed to transfer power from times of peak generation to peak demand. This may require the storage of power for hours, days, or months. One solution that offers the potential of scaling to nation-sized grids is the conversion of renewable energy to other fuels, such as hydrogen or methane. To be widely adopted, this process requires cost-effective solutions to running electrochemical reactions. An open challenge is finding low-cost electrocatalysts to drive these reactions at high rates. Through the use of quantum mechanical simulations (density functional theory), new catalyst structures can be tested and evaluated. Unfortunately, the high computational cost of these simulations limits the number of structures that may be tested. The use of machine learning may provide a method to efficiently approximate these calculations, leading to new approaches in finding effective electrocatalysts. In this paper, we provide an introduction to the challenges in finding suitable electrocatalysts, how machine learning may be applied to the problem, and the use of the Open Catalyst Project OC20 dataset for model training.

The authors identify the deactivation of carbon-based catalysts due to carbon poisoning as a major hindrance to their efficiency and longevity.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for carbon-based electrocatalysts involved using high surface areas and promoting the formation of a stable carbon layer on the catalyst surface to mitigate carbon poisoning. However, these approaches often resulted in reduced catalytic activity and stability. The present paper proposes a new strategy that combines the use of nanostructured carbons with a novel electrodeposition method to achieve improved electrocatalytic performance and resistance to carbon poisoning.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct a series of experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of their proposed strategy. These experiments involve the fabrication of nanostructured carbons using a combination of sol-gel and electrochemical deposition techniques, followed by electrodeposition of platinum on the carbon surface. The resulting electrocatalysts are tested for their activity and stability in fuel cell and hydrogen energy storage applications.

Table 1 lists the experimental conditions used for electrodeposition, and Table 2 summarizes the performance of the electrocatalysts in fuel cell and hydrogen energy storage applications.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [140] by Stonehart and Kohlmayr is cited the most frequently in the paper, as it provides a detailed explanation of the effect of poisons on kinetic parameters for platinum electrocatalyst sites. This reference is used to support the authors' hypothesis that carbon poisoning can be mitigated by optimizing the electrodeposition conditions to reduce the formation of adsorbates on the catalyst surface.

We applied three state-of-the-art graph neural network models (CGCNN, SchNet, Dimenet++) to each of these tasks as baseline demonstrations for the community to build on. In almost every task, no upper limit on model size was identified, suggesting that even larger models are likely to improve on initial results. The dataset and baseline models are both provided as open resources, as well as a public leader board to encourage community contributions to solve these important tasks.

Scalable and cost-effective solutions to renewable energy storage are essential to addressing the world's rising energy needs while reducing climate change. As we increase our reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, which produce intermittent power, storage is needed to transfer power from times of peak generation to peak demand. This may require the storage of power for hours, days, or months. One solution that offers the potential of scaling to nation-sized grids is the conversion of renewable energy to other fuels, such as hydrogen or methane. To be widely adopted, this process requires cost-effective solutions to running electrochemical reactions. An open challenge is finding low-cost electrocatalysts to drive these reactions at high rates. Through the use of quantum mechanical simulations (density functional theory), new catalyst structures can be tested and evaluated. Unfortunately, the high computational cost of these simulations limits the number of structures that may be tested. The use of machine learning may provide a method to efficiently approximate these calculations, leading to new approaches in finding effective electrocatalysts. In this paper, we provide an introduction to the challenges in finding suitable electrocatalysts, how machine learning may be applied to the problem, and the use of the Open Catalyst Project OC20 dataset for model training.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to overcome the limitations of traditional carbon-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen production via hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and water splitting by designing a new type of electrocatalyst based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). They seek to improve the efficiency, stability, and scalability of these electrocatalysts.

A: The previous state of the art for HER and water splitting electro catalysts were based on carbon-based materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes. These materials had limited success in improving the efficiency and stability of the reactions due to their intrinsic limitations. In contrast, TMDs have shown great promise in improving the electrocatalytic activity and stability for HER and water splitting reactions due to their unique properties. The paper improves upon the previous state of the art by demonstrating the design and synthesis of TMD-based electrocatalysts that exhibit improved performance and stability compared to traditional carbon-based materials.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors propose and carry out a series of experiments to test the electrocatalytic activity of TMD-based materials for HER and water splitting reactions.

Many problems across computer vision and the natural sciences require the analysis of spherical data, for which representations may be learned efficiently by encoding equivariance to rotational symmetries. We present a generalized spherical CNN framework that encompasses various existing approaches and allows them to be leveraged alongside each other. The only existing non-linear spherical CNN layer that is strictly equivariant has complexity $\mathcal{O}(C^2L^5)$, where $C$ is a measure of representational capacity and $L$ the spherical harmonic bandlimit. Such a high computational cost often prohibits the use of strictly equivariant spherical CNNs. We develop two new strictly equivariant layers with reduced complexity $\mathcal{O}(CL^4)$ and $\mathcal{O}(CL^3 \log L)$, making larger, more expressive models computationally feasible. Moreover, we adopt efficient sampling theory to achieve further computational savings. We show that these developments allow the construction of more expressive hybrid models that achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and parameter efficiency on spherical benchmark problems.

Electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) of cryosorbed molecules on surfaces is a process of relevance to fields as varied as vacuum dynamics in accelerators and astrochemistry. While desorption from such molecular systems induced by keV electrons and fast ions has been extensively studied, the sub-keV electron regime is comparatively little known. We measured and quantified electron-stimulated desorption from molecular ice systems (layers of N$_2$, CO, CO$_2$, Ar and H$_2$O/D$_2$O condensed at cryogenic temperatures) in the 150-2000 eV electron energy range. In this regime stopping power is no longer sufficient to explain the electron energy dependence of ESD yields. We introduce the notion of desorption-relevant depth, which characterizes the transition between two energy deposition regimes near the surface. We then apply this notion to the different systems, showing how ESD in the sub-keV regime can for example reveal the differences in species diffusion in crystalline and porous amorphous CO$_2$ ices.

Planets form and obtain their compositions in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The chemical compositions of these planet-forming disks regulate all aspects of planetary compositions from bulk elemental inventories to access to water and reactive organics, i.e. a planet's hospitality to life and its chemical origins. Disk chemical structures are in their turn governed by a combination of {\it in situ} chemical processes, and inheritance of molecules from the preceding evolutionary stages of the star formation process. In this review we present our current understanding of the chemical processes active in pre- and protostellar environments that set the initial conditions for disks, and the disk chemical processes that evolve the chemical conditions during the first million years of planet formation. We review recent observational, laboratory and theoretical discoveries that have led to the present view of the chemical environment within which planets form, and their effects on the compositions of nascent planetary systems. We also discuss the many unknowns that remain and outline some possible pathways to addressing them.

We introduce and explore an approach for constructing force fields for small molecules, which combines intuitive low body order empirical force field terms with the concepts of data driven statistical fits of recent machine learned potentials. We bring these two key ideas together to bridge the gap between established empirical force fields that have a high degree of transferability on the one hand, and the machine learned potentials that are systematically improvable and can converge to very high accuracy, on the other. Our framework extends the atomic Permutationally Invariant Polynomials (aPIP) developed for elemental materials in [Mach. Learn.: Sci. Technol. 2019 1 015004] to molecular systems. The body order decomposition allows us to keep the dimensionality of each term low, while the use of an iterative fitting scheme as well as regularisation procedures improve the extrapolation outside the training set. We investigate aPIP force fields with up to generalised 4-body terms, and examine the performance on a set of small organic molecules. We achieve a high level of accuracy when fitting individual molecules, comparable to those of the many-body machine learned force fields. Fitted to a combined training set of short linear alkanes, the accuracy of the aPIP force field still significantly exceeds what can be expected from classical empirical force fields, while retaining reasonable transferability to both configurations far from the training set and to new molecules.

GNNs and chemical fingerprints are the predominant approaches to representing molecules for property prediction. However, in NLP, transformers have become the de-facto standard for representation learning thanks to their strong downstream task transfer. In parallel, the software ecosystem around transformers is maturing rapidly, with libraries like HuggingFace and BertViz enabling streamlined training and introspection. In this work, we make one of the first attempts to systematically evaluate transformers on molecular property prediction tasks via our ChemBERTa model. ChemBERTa scales well with pretraining dataset size, offering competitive downstream performance on MoleculeNet and useful attention-based visualization modalities. Our results suggest that transformers offer a promising avenue of future work for molecular representation learning and property prediction. To facilitate these efforts, we release a curated dataset of 77M SMILES from PubChem suitable for large-scale self-supervised pretraining.

The world's growing hunger for artificial cold on the one hand, and the ever more stringent climate targets on the other, pose an enormous challenge to mankind. Novel, efficient and environmentally friendly refrigeration technologies based on solid-state refrigerants can offer a way out of the problems arising from climate-damaging substances used in conventional vapor-compressors. Multicaloric materials stand out because of their large temperature changes which can be induced by the application of different external stimuli such as a magnetic, electric, or a mechanical field. Despite the high potential for applications and the interesting physics of this group of materials, only few studies focus on their investigation by direct methods. In this paper, we report on the advanced characterization of all relevant physical quantities that determine the multicaloric effect of a Ni-Mn-In Heusler compound. We have used a purpose-designed calorimeter to determine the isothermal entropy and adiabatic temperature changes resulting from the combined action of magnetic field and uniaxial stress on this metamagnetic shape-memory alloy. From these results, we can conclude that the multicaloric response of this alloy by appropriate changes of uniaxial stress and magnetic field largely outperforms the caloric response of the alloy when subjected to only a single stimulus. We anticipate that our findings can be applied to other multicaloric materials, thus inspiring the development of refrigeration devices based on the multicaloric effect.

The environmental corrosiveness is governed for indoor applications by the presence of gaseous pollutants in air and levels of temperature and relative humidity. Its determination is a challenging task and requires the monitoring of thickness reduction of selected metals in the range of few tens of nanometers. The present work aims at developing an UHF RFID sensor dedicated to such measurements. The sensor is based on the coupling between the antenna of a commercial RFID tag and a thin layer of copper exposed to the environment. The ability of the proposed sensor to be sensitive to a variation of the metal thickness in the range of tens of nanometers is demonstrated experimentally through exposure tests in a climatic chamber. The results are supported by electromagnetic simulations performed in the case of a coupling between a dipolar antenna and a thin metallic layer.
