Background: Pit mud (PM) hosts diverse microbial communities, which serve as a medium to impart flavor and quality to Baijiu and exhibit long-term tolerance to ethanol and acids, resulting in a unique ecosystem. However, the ecology and metabolic functions of PM remain poorly understood, as many taxa in PM represent largely novel lineages. In this study, we used a combination of metagenomic analysis and chemical derivatization LC-MS analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of microbial community structure, metabolic function, phylogeny, horizontal gene transfer, and the relationship with carboxyl compounds in spatiotemporal PM samples.

Mapping the chemical reaction pathways and their corresponding activation barriers is a significant challenge in molecular simulation. Given the inherent complexities of 3D atomic geometries, even generating an initial guess of these paths can be difficult for humans. This paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes neural networks to generate initial guesses for reaction pathways based on the initial state and learning from a database of low-energy transition paths.

Quantum information scrambling refers to the spread of the initially stored information over many degrees of freedom of a quantum many-body system. Information scrambling is intimately linked to the thermalization of isolated quantum many-body systems, and has been typically studied in a sudden quench scenario. Here, we extend the notion of quantum information scrambling to critical quantum many-body systems undergoing an adiabatic evolution.

For the computation of vibrationally resolved electronic spectra, various approaches can be employed. Adiabatic approaches simulate vibronic transitions using harmonic potentials of the initial and final states, while vertical approaches extrapolate the final state potential from the gradients and Hessian at the Franck-Condon point, avoiding a full exploration of the potential energy surface of the final state. Our implementation of the vertical Hessian (VH) method has been validated with a benchmark set of four small molecules, each presenting unique challenges, such as complex topologies, problematic low-frequency vibrations, or significant geometrical changes upon electronic excitation.
