We develop a multithreaded parallel coordinate descent full configuration interaction algorithm (mCDFCI) for the electronic structure ground-state calculation in the configuration interaction framework. The FCI problem is reformulated as an unconstrained minimization problem and tackled by a modified block coordinate descent method with a deterministic compression strategy. mCDFCI is designed to prioritize determinants based on their importance, with block updates enabling efficient parallelization on shared-memory, multicore computing infrastructure. We demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm by computing an accurate benchmark energy for the chromium dimer in the Ahlrichs SV basis (48e, 42o), which explicitly includes 2.07 × 10 variational determinants. We also provide the binding curve of the nitrogen dimer under the cc-pVQZ basis set (14e, 110o). Benchmarks show up to 79.3% parallel efficiency on 128 cores.

Context: TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs) show significant potential for developing high-performance resistive humidity sensors due to their hydrophilicity and structural adaptability. However, the underlying atomic-scale mechanisms governing their humidity response remain poorly understood. Using molecular dynamics simulations, this study investigates how crystal facets, nanopore widths, and humidity levels influence the surface wettability, water permeability, and swelling of TOCNFs.

Hydrogen storage as hydrates is one of the most environmentally benign approaches to store hydrogen as it requires only water and traces of promoters. However, the scalability of storing hydrogen hydrate formation is hindered by the limited understanding of the structure, dynamics and energetics of hydrogen and promoters in the hydrate cages. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation configurations with different occupancy modes of H and tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the hydrate cages are investigated under the following scenarios: (i) two H molecules occupying the small cages, (ii) occupancy of H molecules in the THF-free large cages, and (iii) co-occupancy of H and THF in one large cage.

Lithium-ion batteries are indispensable power sources for a wide range of modern electronic devices. However, battery lifespan remains a critical limitation, directly affecting the sustainability and user experience. Conventional battery failure analysis in controlled lab settings may not capture the complex interactions and environmental factors encountered in real-world, in-device operating conditions.

The scientific community has been actively researching artificial photosynthesis to promote ecologically sustainable living and address environmental issues. However, designing photocatalysts with active sites that are effective for both CO reduction and water oxidation remains a significant challenge. Thus, we present the development of a donor-acceptor covalent organic framework (D-A COF), that integrates two distinct metal coordination environments through structure-activity relationships.
