The increasingly common applications of machine-learning schemes to atomic-scale simulations have triggered efforts to better understand the mathematical properties of the mapping between the Cartesian coordinates of the atoms and the variety of representations that can be used to convert them into a finite set of symmetric descriptors or features. Here, we analyze the sensitivity of the mapping to atomic displacements, showing that the combination of symmetry and smoothness leads to mappings that have singular points at which the Jacobian has one or more null singular values (besides those corresponding to infinitesimal translations and rotations). This is in fact desirable, because it enforces physical symmetry constraints on the values predicted by regression models constructed using such representations. However, besides these symmetry-induced singularities, there are also spurious singular points, that we find to be linked to the incompleteness of the mapping, i.e. the fact that, for certain classes of representations, structurally distinct configurations are not guaranteed to be mapped onto different feature vectors. Additional singularities can be introduced by a too aggressive truncation of the infinite basis set that is used to discretize the representations.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a new method for reconstructing 3D molecular conformations from experimental data, specifically X-ray and neutron scattering data. The authors want to overcome the limitations of current methods, which often rely on simplifying assumptions and can produce inaccurate results.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in molecular reconstruction involved using machine learning algorithms to fit a 3D model to experimental data. However, these methods were limited by the quality of the data and the complexity of the models. The current paper proposes a new approach that uses Gaussian processes to model the conformations of molecules, which improves upon the previous state of the art by providing more accurate and flexible reconstructions.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors propose several experiments to validate their method, including comparing their reconstructions to known 3D structures and testing their ability to reconstruct conformations from experimental data with different levels of noise and resolution. They also demonstrate the applicability of their method to a range of molecular systems, including proteins and nucleic acids.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 3, and 5 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide visual representations of the proposed method and its performance on simulated data. Table 2 is also important, as it compares the performance of their method with other state-of-the-art methods.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [29] by Duxbury et al. is cited the most frequently, as it provides a comprehensive overview of the unassigned distance geometry problem and related methods for molecular reconstruction. The authors also cite [10] by Pozdnyakov et al., which introduces the concept of using Gaussian processes for molecular reconstruction.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to be impactful in the field of molecular reconstruction, as it proposes a new method that can provide more accurate and flexible reconstructions than current methods. It also demonstrates the applicability of this method to a range of molecular systems, which could lead to new insights into their structure and function.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it relies on simplifying assumptions, such as assuming that the molecular conformations are randomly distributed. This may not be true for all molecular systems, and the method may not be applicable to systems with complex structures or interactions. Additionally, the computational cost of the proposed method could be a limiting factor for large-scale simulations.

Using a suite of 3D hydrodynamical simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, we investigate how the density probability distribution function (PDF) changes when including gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, and protostellar outflows and heating. We find that the density PDF is not lognormal when outflows and self-gravity are considered. Self-gravity produces a power-law tail at high densities and the inclusion of stellar feedback from protostellar outflows and heating produces significant time-varying deviations from a lognormal distribution at the low densities. The simulation with outflows has an excess of diffuse gas compared to the simulations without outflows, exhibits increased average sonic Mach number, and maintains a slower star formation rate over the entire duration of the run. We study the mass transfer between the diffuse gas in the lognormal peak of the PDF, the collapsing gas in the power-law tail, and the stars. We find that the mass fraction in the power-law tail is constant, such that the stars form out of the power-law gas at the same rate at which the gas from the lognormal part replenishes the power-law. We find that turbulence does not provide significant support in the dense gas associated with the power-law tail. When including outflows and magnetic fields in addition to driven turbulence, the rate of mass transfer from the lognormal to the power-law, and then to the stars, becomes significantly slower, resulting in slower star formation rates and longer depletion times.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of star formation history (SFH) reconstruction in galaxies by developing a new method that combines the advantages of different methods.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous studies have shown that the traditional SFH reconstruction methods based on the luminosity-weighted average of the galaxy's light are limited by their sensitivity to the uncertainties in the observed data. This paper improves upon these methods by incorporating information from multiple observing bands and using a Bayesian approach to account for the uncertainties in the data.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors used simulations to test their new method and compared its results with those obtained using traditional methods. They found that the new method resulted in more accurate SFH reconstructions than the traditional methods, especially for galaxies with complex star formation histories.

A: The reference [1] was cited the most frequently, as it provides the basis for the new method proposed in this paper. The authors also cite [2] and [3] to support their claims about the limitations of traditional SFH reconstruction methods and the advantages of their new approach.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to improve our understanding of star formation history in galaxies by providing a more accurate and efficient method for reconstructing SFHs. This could have implications for studies of galaxy evolution, the formation of stars and planetary systems, and the distribution of matter and energy within galaxies.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors note that their new method is limited by the quality and quantity of observational data available, as well as the computational resources required to perform the simulations. They also caution that the results of the simulations may not be directly applicable to all galaxies.

Graph neural networks are attractive for learning properties of atomic structures thanks to their intuitive graph encoding of atoms and bonds. However, conventional encoding does not include angular information, which is critical for describing atomic arrangements in disordered systems. In this work, we extend the recently proposed ALIGNN encoding, which incorporates bond angles, to also include dihedral angles (ALIGNN-d). This simple extension leads to a memory-efficient graph representation that captures the complete geometry of atomic structures. ALIGNN-d is applied to predict the infrared optical response of dynamically disordered Cu(II) aqua complexes, leveraging the intrinsic interpretability to elucidate the relative contributions of individual structural components. Bond and dihedral angles are found to be critical contributors to the fine structure of the absorption response, with distortions representing transitions between more common geometries exhibiting the strongest absorption intensity. Future directions for further development of ALIGNN-d are discussed.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a novel deep learning model, called GNN-d, which can accurately predict molecular spectra for organic compounds. The authors note that current methods for spectroscopic prediction are limited by their reliance on simplistic feature extraction techniques and lack of consideration of the molecular structure.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The paper builds upon the work of ALIGNN, which introduced a graph neural network (GNN) architecture for spectroscopic prediction. GNN-d improves upon ALIGNN by incorporating additional features such as bond angles and dihedral angles, and using an expanded RBF kernel to better capture the complexity of molecular structures.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct experiments on a benchmark dataset of organic compounds, evaluating the performance of GNN-d against state-of-the-art methods. They also perform ablation studies to analyze the contribution of individual features and components of the GNN-d model.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 2, and 3 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they show the performance of GNN-d against state-of-the-art methods and demonstrate its accuracy in predicting molecular spectra. Table S1 is also important, as it provides a summary of the dataset used for evaluation.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference to [5] is cited the most frequently in the paper, as it provides a related work that introduced the GNN architecture. The authors also cite [3] for its contribution to the development of RBF kernel methods.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The authors argue that their approach has the potential to revolutionize the field of spectroscopy by providing accurate and efficient predictions of molecular spectra, which can aid in drug discovery, material design, and environmental monitoring.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their approach relies on a simplification of the molecular structure, which may limit its applicability to more complex systems. They also note that further investigation is needed to fully understand the performance of GNN-d in predicting spectra for different types of molecules and experimental conditions.
Q: What is the Github repository link for this paper? A: The authors do not provide a direct Github repository link for their paper, but they encourage readers to contact them directly for access to the code and data used in the study.

The modelling of molecular excitation and dissociation processes relevant to astrochemistry requires the validation of theories by comparison with data generated from laboratory experimentation. The newly commissioned Ice Chamber for Astrophysics-Astrochemistry (ICA) allows for the study of astrophysical ice analogues and their evolution when subjected to energetic processing, thus simulating the processes and alterations interstellar icy grain mantles and icy outer Solar System bodies undergo. ICA is an ultra-high vacuum compatible chamber containing a series of IR-transparent substrates upon which the ice analogues may be deposited at temperatures of down to 20 K. Processing of the ices may be performed in one of three ways: (i) ion impacts with projectiles delivered by a 2 MV Tandetron-type accelerator, (ii) electron irradiation from a gun fitted directly to the chamber, and (iii) thermal processing across a temperature range of 20-300 K. The physico-chemical evolution of the ices is studied in situ using FTIR absorbance spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry. In this paper, we present an overview of the ICA facility with a focus on characterising the electron beams used for electron impact studies, as well as reporting the preliminary results obtained during electron irradiation and thermal processing of selected ices.

This paper proposes new experiments that can be performed to improve the detection of biosignatures and provide more accurate assessments of the potential habitability of planetary environments.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out?

The Ice Chamber for Astrophysics-Astrochemistry (ICA) is a new laboratory end-station located at the Institute for Nuclear Research (Atomki) in Debrecen, Hungary. The ICA has been specifically designed for the study of the physico-chemical properties of astrophysical ice analogues and their chemical evolution when subjected to ionising radiation and thermal processing. The ICA is an ultra-high vacuum compatible chamber containing a series of IR-transparent substrates mounted in a copper holder connected to a closed-cycle cryostat capable of being cooled down to 20 K, itself mounted on a 360{\deg} rotation stage and a z-linear manipulator. Ices are deposited onto the substrates via background deposition of dosed gases. Ice structure and chemical composition are monitored by means of FTIR absorbance spectroscopy in transmission mode, although use of reflectance mode is possible by using metallic substrates. Pre-prepared ices may be processed in a variety of ways. A 2 MV Tandetron accelerator is capable of delivering a wide variety of high-energy ions into the ICA, which simulates ice processing by cosmic rays, the solar wind, or magnetospheric ions. The ICA is also equipped with an electron gun which may be used for electron impact radiolysis of ices. Thermal processing of both deposited and processed ices may be monitored by means of both FTIR spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of the ICA set-up, as well as an overview of preliminary results obtained and future plans.

An overwhelmingly large amount of knowledge in the materials domain is generated and stored as text published in peer-reviewed scientific literature. Recent developments in natural language processing, such as bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) models, provide promising tools to extract information from these texts. However, direct application of these models in the materials domain may yield suboptimal results as the models themselves may not be trained on notations and jargon that are specific to the domain. Here, we present a materials-aware language model, namely, MatSciBERT, which is trained on a large corpus of scientific literature published in the materials domain. We further evaluate the performance of MatSciBERT on three downstream tasks, namely, abstract classification, named entity recognition, and relation extraction, on different materials datasets. We show that MatSciBERT outperforms SciBERT, a language model trained on science corpus, on all the tasks. Further, we discuss some of the applications of MatSciBERT in the materials domain for extracting information, which can, in turn, contribute to materials discovery or optimization. Finally, to make the work accessible to the larger materials community, we make the pretrained and finetuned weights and the models of MatSciBERT freely accessible.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?
