New paper alert: React-OT: Optimal Transport for Generating Transition State in Chemical Reactions (arxiv.org/abs/2404.13430). React-OT formulates TS search as a transport problem, approaching chemical accuracy while taking only 0.5 seconds in inference on a single GPU. #compchem

🔥Tremendous progress in applying AI to MOFs has emerged in just a few years. Agents can now propose and even help synthesize new materials. 📄Our new perspective preprint asks: where are we today, what challenges remain, and what promises lie ahead for AI-designed MOFs🌍⚡
