Super excited that our "On Scientific Understanding with Artificial Intelligence" is published in Nature Reviews Physics nature.com/articles/s4225… 🥳🤩🎶 With many amazing colleges&friends in Alan Aspuru-Guzik's lab University of Toronto Vector Institute Hope it inspires wild new directions in AI 4 science! 1/n

#RobSelects paper of the week J. Am. Chem. Soc.: Quantifying and modeling the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bond chains on intermolecular hydrogen bond interaction strength. #physorg doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2…

WUHUU - finally our "SELFIES and the future of molecular string representations" from a massive collaboration of 31 people has been published in Cell Press Patterns, a Cell Press journal🤖 cell.com/patterns/fullt… With 16 exciting open challenges at interface AI/material/molecular design 1/n

#RobSelects paper of the week Science Magazine: Visible light spectrometer with a low square micrometer footprint based on a single tunable van der Waals junction. #physchem doi.org/10.1126/scienc…



#RobSelects paper of the week Chemical Science: Comprehensive investigation of ylide-substituted phosphine palladium(II) chloride complexes as robust precatalysts for cross coupling reactions. #catalysis doi.org/10.1039/D2SC04…



Fresh!! Fully differentiable Hückel model using #JAX. i) We optimize the atom types for different molecular frameworks to find the molecule with the targeted property (HOMO-LUMO) 🧵 (1/3) Kjell Jorner Robert Pollice Alan Aspuru-Guzik Chemistry at UofT #compchem

Hückel theory is one of the most simple quantum chemistry methods and a favorite of every organic chemist. Here we show with autodiff guru Rodrigo A. Vargas-Hdz how to make it autodifferentiable and tune the model parameters for optimal prediction of e.g. HOMO-LUMO gap

Published in The Journal of Chemical Physics!! 🎉 Automatic diff. for inverse molecular design and parameter optimization. doi.org/10.1063/5.0137… Kjell Jorner Robert Pollice Alan Aspuru-Guzik #compchem

Recently, an #AI algorithm discovered a quantity in chemistry behaving like a conservation law. We now confirm it is one. Where do these come from, and where do we look for them in experiments? We (Robert Pollice,Daan,Martijn) derive the underlying laws here: arxiv.org/abs/2306.09553
