InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are more efficient and cost effective than incandescent and fluorescent lighting, but lattice mismatch limits the thickness of InGaN layers that can be grown on GaN without performance-degrading dislocations. In this work, we apply hybrid density functional theory calculations to investigate the thermodynamic stab...

Optical properties are central to molecular design for many applications, including solar cells and biomedical imaging. A variety of ab initio and statistical methods have been developed for their prediction, each with a trade-off between accuracy, generality, and cost. Existing theoretical methods such as time-dependent density functional theory (...

Deep generative models have emerged as an exciting avenue for inverse molecular design, with progress coming from the interplay between training algorithms and molecular representations. One of the key challenges in their applicability to materials science and chemistry has been the lack of access to sizeable training datasets with property labels....

Machine learning sequence-function models for proteins could enable significant advances in protein engineering, especially when paired with state-of-the-art methods to select new sequences for property optimization and/or model improvement. Such methods (Bayesian optimization and active learning) require calibrated estimations of model uncertainty...

Deep learning has become a powerful and frequently employed tool for the prediction of molecular properties, thus creating a need for open-source and versatile software solutions that can be operated by non-experts. Among current approaches, directed message-passing neural networks (D-MPNNs) have proven to perform well on a variety of property pred...

A closed-loop, autonomous molecular discovery platform driven by integrated machine learning tools was developed to accelerate the design of molecules with desired properties. Two case studies are demonstrated on dye-like molecules, targeting absorption wavelength, lipophilicity, and photo-oxidative stability. In the first, the platform experimenta...

ConspectusDesigning new materials is vital for addressing pressing societal challenges in health, energy, and sustainability. The combination of physicochemical laws and empirical trial and error has long guided material design, but this approach is limited by the cost of experiments and the difficulty of deriving complex guiding principles. The sp...
