With the recent success of deep learning, there is increasing interest in using neural networks to solve differential equations in a data-driven manner. However, existing methods are either limited to specific types of differential equations or require large amounts of data for training. This restricts their practicality in many real-world applications, where data is often scarce or expensive to obtain. To address this, a novel multi-modal foundation model, named <b>FMint</b> (<b>F</b>oundation <b>M</b>odel based on <b>In</b>i<b>t</b>ialization) is proposed, to bridge the gap between human-designed and data-driven models for the fast simulation of dynamical systems. Built on a decoder-only transformer architecture with in-context learning, FMint utilizes both numerical and textual data to learn a universal error correction scheme for dynamical systems, using prompted sequences of coarse solutions from traditional solvers. The model is pre-trained on a corpus of 400K ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and extensive experiments are performed on challenging ODEs that exhibit chaotic behavior and of high dimensionality. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in terms of both accuracy and efficiency compared to classical numerical solvers, highlighting FMint's potential as a general-purpose solver for dynamical systems. This approach achieves an accuracy improvement of 1 to 2 orders of magnitude over state-of-the-art dynamical system simulators, and delivers a 5X speedup compared to traditional numerical algorithms.

The nonstructural protein 2B (NS2B)/nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) NS2B/NS3 protease, essential for virion maturation, represents a promising therapeutic target. Structural and dynamical changes induced by NS2B cofactor binding to the NS3 protein are examined using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. NS2B binding reduces the flexibility of NS3, particularly in contact regions, without altering its secondary structure. Non-bonding van der Waals and electrostatic interactions are identified as the primary driving forces in cofactor binding. The protonation states of catalytic triad residues significantly affect the active pocket's geometry. A drug repurposing campaign utilizing ensemble docking and molecular dynamics simulations identified three DrugBank compounds as potential NS2B/NS3 protease inhibitors. The catalytic serine residue with a deprotonated hydroxyl group contributes most significantly to the free energy of binding.

The precise determination of complete phonon spectra and their corresponding interatomic force constants continues to present substantial computational challenges, particularly in architecturally complex material systems. In this study, using graphene as a prototypical system, theoretical derivation of the phonon dispersion relations is presented through rigorous lattice dynamics formalism. The first- through eighth-nearest-neighbor force constants in the dynamical matrix are systematically determined via a self-consistent iterative genetic algorithm optimization framework. These derived parameters are further systematically validated through density functional theory simulations. The optimized interatomic force constants demonstrate remarkable fidelity in reproducing both the acoustic and optical phonon branches across the entire Brillouin zone, thereby establishing a comprehensive theoretical foundation for predictive calculations of temperature-dependent thermodynamic properties. The developed genetic algorithm optimization methodology shows significant transferability to diverse material systems, enabling precise alignment with inelastic neutron scattering and Raman spectroscopy measurements.

The average Coulomb and exchange energies of electron pairs, along with one-electron kinetic and Coulomb potential energies, are calculated as a function of the dot radius. A penetrable confinement potential is used as a model to investigate the effects of confinement on both average and orbital energies. Furthermore, this study examines how confinement influences electron probability densities inside and outside the quantum well for ground and excited state configurations. Additionally, the configuration-average binding energy is computed at two different values of the confinement potential. The main conclusion is that the average energy and binding energy go up when the confinement radius is reduced and eventually reach at a fixed value. Other energies rise steadily until reaching their maximum values, after which they decline rapidly as the dot radius continues to decrease.
