Government mulls cement roads amid bitumen price spike

In view of the spike in bitumen prices and shortage of the key raw material for road projects due to prolonged West Asia conflict, highways minister Nitin Gadkari has said that his ministry is considering building cement concrete roads instead of bituminous stretches. Speaking at launch of the country’s first Flex Fuel Vehicle on Thursday, Gadkari said bitumen prices have almost doubled from Rs 45 a kg to Rs 85 and highlighted how domestically produced bio-bitumen can reduce imports and help...

‘Pollute us and we’ll sue you’: The quest to give Europe’s lakes and forests legal rights

Should a lake be allowed to hire its own lawyer and sue a company? It may sound unlikely, but that’s the goal of a group of European conservationists. A newly-registered European Citizens’ Initiative petition calls on the European Union to come up with legislation that would let polluted rivers or deforested woodlands “take” their polluters to court, giving natural bodies legal rights akin to those of a company.

Data-Driven Discovery of Unconventional Antiferromagnets

Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unconventional antiferromagnets combine zero net magnetization with spin-split electronic bands, offering a distinct, important platform for spintronics. Their discovery, however, has so far depended largely on case-by-case studies and on a limited number of compounds with experimentally resolved magnetic structures. Here, we overcome these bottlenecks by resolving magnetic ground states across a broad materials database.

PFT: Phonon Fine-tuning for Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials

Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many materials properties depend on higher-order derivatives of the potential energy surface, yet machine learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) trained with a standard loss on energy, force, and stress errors can exhibit error in curvature, degrading the prediction of vibrational properties. We introduce phonon fine-tuning (PFT), which directly supervises second-order force constants of materials by matching MLIP energy Hessians to DFT-computed force...

ReciNet: Reciprocal Space-Aware Long-Range Modeling for Crystalline Property Prediction

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predicting properties of crystals from their structures is a fundamental yet challenging task in materials science. Unlike molecules, crystal structures exhibit infinite periodic arrangements of atoms, requiring methods capable of capturing both local and global information effectively. However, current works fall short of capturing long-range interactions within periodic structures.
