Quantum-mechanical simulation method cited for predicting BC8 stability above ~1 TPa.
Pitt chemists report that seeding coupled-cluster calculations with a Kohn-Sham density gets nearly the same accuracy in minutes to hours. The release says this could improve machine-learning training data but describes no test of that.

A paper in EES Catalysis claims to identify the physical properties that drive nitrogen reduction, aimed at the cost gap keeping electrochemical ammonia out of a 200-million-ton market.
Reality
Magnetite nanoparticles formed in dye-laden water took up more than 90% of two dyes as they crystallised, and the same loaded particles later captured almost 80% of a third dye in a single-dye test reported in RSC Advances.
Reality
Phonon quantities, not electronic structure, are what make colour-centre screening expensive. A low-temperature closed form and a single-mode approximation cut that cost, with assumptions stated.
Reality
Shock-compression data published in Nature reconciles diamond melting experiments with quantum simulations. The lab says applying it to inertial confinement fusion could triple energy gain.
