Below are the latest papers in computational physics, curated to keep you at the forefront of this rapidly evolving discipline.
This paper introduces Martini Mapper, an automated framework that generates transferable Martini 3 coarse-grained models directly from SMILES strings for thousands of diverse molecules, thereby overcoming previous manual mapping limitations and enabling high-throughput molecular simulations.
This paper presents a first-principles computational framework based on the Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations to simulate surfactant effects in liquid-vapor phase-transforming fluids, successfully demonstrating how surfactants reduce surface tension and influence bubble coalescence and condensation.
This paper proposes the Adaptive Probability Flow Residual Minimization (A-PFRM) method, which reformulates high-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations as first-order Probability Flow ODEs and employs Hutchinson Trace Estimation with adaptive sampling to achieve linear computational complexity and constant wall-clock time while overcoming the curse of dimensionality.
This paper presents a numerical Path Integral Monte Carlo study of bosonic, fermionic, and anyonic fluids in thermal equilibrium on a sphere, investigating how positive curvature influences thermodynamic properties, superfluidity, and particle path dynamics while addressing the sign problem via the restricted path integral method.
This paper introduces radial gausslets, a generalized three-dimensional basis set for atomic systems that retains the computational advantage of diagonal electron-electron interaction terms while achieving high accuracy and compactness in Hartree-Fock and exact diagonalization calculations.
This paper proposes a Residual-Attention Physics-Informed Neural Network (RA-PINN) that integrates residual learning and attention mechanisms to overcome the limitations of traditional methods and standard PINNs in accurately predicting complex multi-physics fields with irregular interfaces and multi-peak transport structures, demonstrating superior performance across benchmark cases for digital twin applications.
This paper presents a mathematically consistent reduced-order model coupling Kirchhoff-Love plate bending with Reynolds lubrication theory, implemented via a monolithic interior-penalty finite element scheme in FEniCSx, to simulate and analyze the nonlinear fluid-structure interaction dynamics of wafer-to-wafer bonding.
This study reveals that interlayer interactions in bilayer V2S2O significantly modulate valence band structures and suppress piezomagnetism, while gate-voltage modulation induces asymmetric control over spin-polarized transport in Au/V2S2O/Au devices, offering critical insights for optimizing multilayer altermagnetic spintronics.
This study predicts that the experimentally synthesized material LiVF, which simultaneously hosts altermagnetism and charge-order-induced ferroelectricity, enables ultrafast (15-femtosecond) electrically controlled magnetism through strong magnetoelectric coupling.
This study demonstrates that fine-tuning universal machine-learning interatomic potentials on systematically generated structures enables near-DFT accuracy in predicting mixing energies for 2D high-entropy alloys, overcoming the computational limitations of direct DFT calculations for complex systems like experimentally synthesized (Mo,Ta,Nb,W,V)S.
