Today we are releasing ether0, our first scientific reasoning model. We trained Mistral 24B with RL on several molecular design tasks in chemistry. Remarkably, we found that LLMs can learn some scientific tasks more much data-efficiently than specialized models trained from

I’m very excited to share my final first author paper from my postdoc now in @NatureEnergyJnl. In it we uncover how surface treatment of perovskites with HABr enabled two world-record solar cell efficiencies. https://t.co/4fBBncsslw. These were the first devices with >25% -@NREL.

People need me time; quasiparticles need to 'relax' too. To use exciton-polaritons (hybrids of light and matter) in applications similar to lasers, you need to bring polaritons down to their lowest energy state. @MIT scientists found a way to control them: https://t.co/dmchqsts6B

Semiconductor energy transport can be affected by many sources including photon recycling, grain boundaries, & nonlinear recombination. @DanedeQuilettes @brenesrob @mlaitz develop new ways to model & understand these competing processes. @RLEatMIT

When people said doing a PhD would be difficult I was thinking more along the lines of "challenging math to be learned" rather than "the culture and bureaucracy of academia will demean you and wear you down day after day for 5+ years"

Check out this thread to learn more about solar economics and emerging PV technologies from Swift's co-founder/CEO.
My @MIT colleague Patrick Brown (now @NREL) and I (now @SwiftSolarPV) wrote a little book that describes the economics of solar power and highlights two emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies—perovskites and quantum dots. Via @IOPPublishing: https://t.co/OcTxudzNsv
