AI Article Synopsis

  • A new correction method is introduced for DFT/CCSD(T) calculations that aims to achieve high precision for weakly bound molecular solids without needing extra parameters.
  • The method has been validated with solid benzene and graphite, showing that it can accurately reproduce experimental data for lattice constants and cohesive energies.
  • Results indicate that the calculated structural parameters and exfoliation energies for graphite closely match experimental values, demonstrating the effectiveness of the correction scheme.

Article Abstract

A parameter-free DFT/CCSD(T) correction scheme is proposed for precise calculations (close to CCSD(T) accuracy) of weakly bound molecular solids. The correction scheme has been tested for solid benzene and graphite. The CCSD(T)/CBS correction to planewave DFT calculations reproduces the experimentally determined lattice constants for solid benzene. The calculated cohesive energy of benzene (457 meV per molecule) compares well with the experimental values of the heat of sublimation (460-560 meV per molecule). For graphite, the correction yields structural parameters (a = 2.46 A, c = 6.60 A) in good agreement with experiment (a = 2.46 A, c = 6.67 A). The calculated exfoliation energy of 54 meV per atom agrees fairly well with the most recent experimental value of 52 +/- 5 meV per atom.

Machine learning algorithms have proven to be effective for essential quantum computation tasks such as quantum error correction and quantum control. Efficient hardware implementation of these algorithms at cryogenic temperatures is essential. Here we utilize magnetic topological insulators as memristors (termed magnetic topological memristors) and introduce a cryogenic in-memory computing scheme based on the coexistence of a chiral edge state and a topological surface state.

To develop and validate a novel multidimensional readout method that significantly reduces the number of readout channels in PET detectors while maintaining high spatial and energy performance. Approach: We arranged a 3×3×4 SiPM array in multiple dimensions and employed row/column/layer summation with a resistor-based splitting circuit. We then applied denoising methods to enhance the peak-to-valley ratio in the decoding map, ensuring accurate crystal-position determination.

Data-independent acquisition (DIA) on ion mobility mass spectrometers enables deep proteome coverage and high data completeness in large-scale proteomics studies. For advanced acquisition schemes such as parallel accumulation serial fragmentation-based DIA (diaPASEF) stability of ion mobility (1/K) over time is crucial for consistent data quality. We found that minor changes in environmental air pressure systematically affect the vacuum pressure in the TIMS analyzer, causing ion mobility shifts.

With the development and application of the Internet of Things (IoT), the volume of data generated daily by IoT devices is growing exponentially. These IoT devices, such as smart wearable devices, produce data containing sensitive personal information. However, since IoT devices and users often operate in untrusted external environments, their encrypted data remain vulnerable to potential privacy leaks and security threats from malicious coercion.
