Writing SMILES from scratch

Bon Cho Bon Cho

With the spread of materials informatics (MI), DFT calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations, the number of opportunities to input molecular structures on computers is rapidly increasing. In these cases, the SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) notation, which treats molecular structures as character strings, is often used. Many chemical software programs allow you to input molecular structures and SMILES.

Nagoya University × Matlantis Case Study:“Advanced Experiments for Frontier Technologies and Sciences” —A Four-Day Intensive Course That Sparked Experimental Students’ Curiosity Through AI Simulation

Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering's "Cutting-Edge Science and Engineering Experiments" for the second half of the 2025 academic year included a chemical simulation experiment class incorporating the AI atomic-level simulator "Matlantis." By utilizing the power of AI simulation, the quality and speed of research can be dramatically improved. Experimental students who are not experts in computational chemistry experienced this potential with their own hands.

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
