Abstract Combustion is a complex chemical system which involves thousands of chemical reactions and generates hundreds of molecular species and radicals during the process. In this work, a neural network-based molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is carried out to simulate the benchmark combustion of methane. During MD simulation, detailed reaction processes leading to the creation of specific molecular species including various intermediate radicals and the products are intimately revealed and characterized. Overall, a total of 798 different chemical reactions were recorded and some new chemical reaction pathways were discovered. We believe that the present work heralds the dawn of a new era in which neural network-based reactive MD simulation can be practically applied to simulating important complex reaction systems at ab initio level, which provides atomic-level understanding of chemical reaction processes as well as discovery of new reaction pathways at an unprecedented level of detail beyond what laboratory experiments could accomplish.

Certain tasks, such as cooking and chemistry lab work, involve the transformation, combination, and separation of materials. Because these tasks are concerned with material flow, they can be represented using a type of formal diagram commonly used in chemistry and biology to represent chemical reaction pathways. A unique feature of this notation is its graphical depiction of changes in partonomy—how certain materials combine to form a single product, or how a material is decomposed into multiple products. In the present study, participants performed a series of abstract object transformation tasks in a virtual laboratory according to different instruction formats (text, semi diagram, full diagram). Each participant tested the three formats, each with one of three unique tasks. Differences in viewing time address whether the graphical depiction of partonomic change is advantageous for the user.
