Check out Chenggong's paper on the use of machine learning 🤖 and molecular dynamics ⚛️ to model the catalytic stability 🔥 of oxide-supported metal nanoparticles in @NatureCatalysis!

[Suljo Linic @linicsu]

New paper (https://t.co/ig57XusiF7) in @NatureCatalysis used first-principles neural network MD and interpretable ML to uncover simple predictive models for the stability of metal nanoparticles on oxide supports. We used the model to identify sinter-resistant supports for Pt.
