We published a new paper led by student Shukai Yao studied the origin of the two glass transition temperatures of carbon fiber precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the backbone relaxation of two phases using molecular dynamic simulations.

Our new neural network reactive potential for CHNO systems was just published. We focused on expanding the training set with high-pressure processes. Check it out and use in your MD simulations. .

Kat Nykiel contributed to a recently published paper that reports a new molybdenum-niobium MXene (o-MXene). This material is evidence for the transition metal ordering in the MXene's M layers and its tunable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity.
