Absolute energy levels of liquid water from many-body perturbation theory with effective vertex corrections
Alfredo Pasquarello, Aleksei Tal, Thomas Bischoff
We demonstrate the importance of addressing the F vertex and thus going beyond the GW approximation for achieving the energy levels of liquid water in manybody perturbation theory. In particular, we consider an effective vertex function in both the polariz ...
Natl Acad Sciences2024Fusing Pre-existing Knowledge and Machine Learning for Enhanced Building Thermal Modeling and Control
Buildings play a pivotal role in the ongoing worldwide energy transition, accounting for 30% of the global energy consumption. With traditional engineering solutions reaching their limits to tackle such large-scale problems, data-driven methods and Machine ...
EPFL2024DBFS: Dynamic Bitwidth-Frequency Scaling for Efficient Software-defined SIMD
Giovanni Ansaloni, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, Pengbo Yu, Flavio Ponzina
Machine learning algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are characterized by high robustness towards quantization, supporting small-bitwidth fixed-point arithmetic at inference time with little to no degradation in accuracy. In turn, small ...
2024A diversity-driven discovery of potential nanoporous materials for energy-related applications
The design and discovery of potential novel materials is critical for the advancement of climate change mitigation technologies. In this respect, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received considerable attention over the last two decades. The combinatio ...
EPFL2024'Fraternal-twin' ferroelectricity: competing polar states in hydrogen-doped samarium nickelate from first principles
In ferroelectric switching, an applied electric field switches the system between two polar symmetry-equivalent states. In this work, we use first-principles calculations to explore the polar states of hydrogen-doped samarium nickelate (SNO) at a concentra ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part II-Analysis Based on Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Radiation
In Part I of this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe was derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to ...
2024Physical and unphysical regimes of self-consistent many-body perturbation theory
In the standard framework of self-consistent many-body perturbation theory, the skeleton series for the self-energy is truncated at a finite order N and plugged into the Dyson equation, which is then solved for the propagator G(N). We consider two examples ...
Scipost Foundation2024Osmosis-driven stiffening of structured hydrogels
Esther Amstad, Ran Zhao, Alexandra Thoma
Plant cells harness osmotic pressures to stiffen their leaves through strong turgor pressures. Key to this osmosisdriven stiffening is the confinement of liquids within semipermeable membranes that can regulate the transport of water molecules and ions. In ...
Elsevier2024On Multiphysical Couplings in Energy Geotechnics: Relevance and Applications
Energy Geotechnics includes several applications related to the recovery and storage of energy from and into the ground, energy transportation, and the management of waste and carbon dioxide generated from energy use. These applications often involve the n ...
Wei Wu, Universität für Bodenkultur2023Deep excavation of the impact from endogenous and exogenous uncertainties on long-term energy planning
Endogenous and exogenous uncertainties exert significant influences on energy planning. In this study, we propose a systematic methodology to excavate the uncertainty space, by combining mix-integer linear programming (MILP), Monte Carlo simulation, and ma ...
