It is widely recognized that surface roughness plays an important role in ice adhesion strength, although the correlation between the two is far from understood. In this paper, two approaches, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and machine learning (ML), were utilized to study the nanoscale intrinsic ice adhesion strength on rough surfaces. A systematic algorithm for making random rough surfaces was developed and the surfaces were tested for their ice adhesion strength, with varying interatomic potentials. Using MD simulations, the intrinsic ice adhesion strength was found to be significantly lower on rougher surfaces, which was attributed to the lubricating effect of a thin quasi-liquid layer. An increase in the substrate–ice interatomic potential increased the thickness of the quasi-liquid layer on rough surfaces. Two different ML algorithms, regression and classification, were trained using the results from the MD simulations, with support vector machines (SVM) emerging as the best for classifying. The ML approach showed an encouraging prediction accuracy, and for the first time shed light on using ML for anti-icing surface design. The findings provide a better understanding of the role of nanoscale roughness in intrinsic ice adhesion and suggest that ML can be a powerful tool in finding materials with a low ice adhesion strength.

W-Cu laminated composites are critical materials used to construct nuclear fusion reactors, and it is very important to obtain direct alloying between W and Cu at the W/Cu interfaces of the composites. Our previous experimental studies showed that it is possible to overcome the immiscibility between W and Cu and obtain direct alloying when the alloying temperature is close to the melting point of Cu. Because the W-Cu interatomic potentials published thus far cannot accurately reproduce the alloying behaviors of immiscible W and Cu, an interatomic potential suitable for the W-Cu system has been constructed in the present study. Based on this potential, direct alloying between W and Cu at high temperature has been verified, and the corresponding diffusion mechanism has been studied, through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results indicate that the formation of an amorphous Cu layer at the W/Cu interface plays a critical role in alloying because it allows Cu atoms to diffuse into W. The simulation results for direct alloying between W and Cu can be verified by experimental results and transmission electron microscopy observations. This indicates that the constructed W-Cu potential can correctly model the high-temperature performance of the W-Cu system and the diffusion mechanism of direct alloying between W and Cu.

AbstractLarge scale atomistic simulations provide direct access to important materials phenomena not easily accessible to experiments or quantum mechanics-based calculation approaches. Accurate and efficient interatomic potentials are the key enabler, but their development remains a challenge for complex materials and/or complex phenomena. Machine learning potentials, such as the Deep Potential (DP) approach, provide robust means to produce general purpose interatomic potentials. Here, we provide a methodology for specialising machine learning potentials for high fidelity simulations of complex phenomena, where general potentials do not suffice. As an example, we specialise a general purpose DP method to describe the mechanical response of two allotropes of titanium (in addition to other defect, thermodynamic and structural properties). The resulting DP correctly captures the structures, energies, elastic constants and γ-lines of Ti in both the HCP and BCC structures, as well as properties such as dislocation core structures, vacancy formation energies, phase transition temperatures, and thermal expansion. The DP thus enables direct atomistic modelling of plastic and fracture behaviour of Ti. The approach to specialising DP interatomic potential, DPspecX, for accurate reproduction of properties of interest “X”, is general and extensible to other systems and properties.

AbstractThe fast and untraceable virus mutations take lives of thousands of people before the immune system can produce the inhibitory antibody. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 infected and killed thousands of people in the world. Rapid methods in finding peptides or antibody sequences that can inhibit the viral epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 will save the life of thousands. To predict neutralizing antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 in a high-throughput manner, in this paper, we use different machine learning (ML) model to predict the possible inhibitory synthetic antibodies for SARS-CoV-2. We collected 1933 virus-antibody sequences and their clinical patient neutralization response and trained an ML model to predict the antibody response. Using graph featurization with variety of ML methods, like XGBoost, Random Forest, Multilayered Perceptron, Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression, we screened thousands of hypothetical antibody sequences and found nine stable antibodies that potentially inhibit SARS-CoV-2. We combined bioinformatics, structural biology, and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to verify the stability of the candidate antibodies that can inhibit SARS-CoV-2.

Ice adhesion plays a crucial role in the performance of materials under outdoor conditions, where the mitigation of snow and ice accumulation or spontaneous shedding of solid water precipitations are highly desirable. In this brief review we compare the adhesion of water and ice to different surfaces and consider the mechanisms of ice adhesion to solids basing on the surface forces analysis. The role of a premelted or quasi-liquid layer (QLL) in the ice adhesion is discussed with the emphasis on superhydrophobic surfaces, and the temperature dependence of ice adhesion strength is considered with an account of QLL. We also very briefly mention some recent methods for the measurement of ice adhesion strength to the icephobic engineering materials outlining the problems which remain to be experimentally solved.

The validity of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is highly dependent on the accuracy or reproducibility of interatomic potentials used in the MD simulation. The neural-network (NN) interatomic potential is one of promising interatomic potentials based on machine-learning method. However, there are some parameters that should be determined heuristically before making the NN potential, such as the shape and number of basis functions. We have developed a new approach to select only relevant basis functions from a lot of candidates systematically and less heuristically without loosing the accuracy of the potential. The present NN potential for Si system shows very good agreements with the results obtained using ab-initio calculations.

In this paper, we investigate analysis and prediction of the time-dependent data. We focus our attention on four different stocks are selected from Yahoo Finance historical database. To build up models and predict the future stock price, we consider three different machine learning techniques including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR). By treating close price, open price, daily low, daily high, adjusted close price, and volume of trades as predictors in machine learning methods, it can be shown that the prediction accuracy is improved.

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) pose a substantial threat as endocrine disruptors, and thus early identification of those that may interact with steroid hormone receptors, such as the androgen receptor (AR), is critical. In this study we screened 5,206 PFASs from the CompTox database against the different binding sites on the AR using both molecular docking and machine learning techniques. We developed support vector machine models trained on Tox21 data to classify the active and inactive PFASs for AR using different chemical fingerprints as features. The maximum accuracy was 95.01% and Matthew’s correlation coefficient (MCC) was 0.76 respectively, based on MACCS fingerprints (MACCSFP). The combination of docking-based screening and machine learning models identified 29 PFASs that have strong potential for activity against the AR and should be considered priority chemicals for biological toxicity testing.
