Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Theo Jaffrelot Inizan, Sherry Yang, Aaron Kaplan, Yen-hsu Lin, Jian Yin | Summary: Generative models and machine learning promise accelerated material discovery in MOFs for CO2 capture and water harvesting but face significant challenges navigating vast chemical spaces while ensuring synthetizability. Here, we present MOFGen, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Sijia Ke, Stephen E. Gant, Leeor Kronik, Jeffrey B. Neaton, | Summary: We use density functional theory (DFT) with non-empirically tuned screened range-separated hybrid (SRSH) functionals to calculate the electronic properties of native zinc and oxygen vacancy point defects in ZnO, and we predict their defect […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zihao Wu, Luis C. Ho, , , | Summary: Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their birth masses, offering critical insights into the formation of heavy black hole seeds and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Fuminobu Takahashi, , | Summary: We study the evolution of Q-balls under a spontaneously broken global $U(1)$ symmetry. Q-balls are stabilized by the conservation of $U(1)$ charge, but when the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the resulting Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson can carry charge away […]
