The online proceedings for the Spring Meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics have been published, and it feels like the academic conference season has finally arrived. I'm sure there are many people who have submitted their proceedings and are busy preparing their presentations, and many others who are looking at the published proceedings and planning to attend. At the 86th Autumn Meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics last year, I gave a presentation entitled "Interpretation of predictions at the atomic level by combining PFP descriptors and Shapley values."

Introduction to Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials (MLIPs): A Game Changer in Materials Simulation

Yoshitaka Yamauchi Masataka Yamauchi

Introduction In the fields of materials science, chemistry, and drug discovery R&D, atomic and molecular level simulations have become established as a fundamental technology for elucidating the properties and reaction mechanisms of materials from a microscopic perspective. However, full-scale application in R&D has always been hindered by the trade-off between "accuracy," "computational cost," and "versatility." For example, first-principles calculations are quantum

Matlantis can calculate a wide range of materials, but among them, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are important materials with a wide range of applications, including catalysts and CO2 storage. This material, discovered in the 1990s, has already been industrialized and is attracting attention worldwide as an essential material for maintaining a sustainable society. In fact, the 2025 Nobel Prize
