Roadmap on Advancements of the FHI-aims Software Package
read the original abstract
Electronic-structure theory is the foundation of the description of materials including multiscale modeling of their properties and functions. Obviously, without sufficient accuracy at the base, reliable predictions are unlikely at any level that follows. The software package FHI-aims has proven to be a game changer for accurate free-energy calculations because of its scalability, numerical precision, and its efficient handling of density functional theory (DFT) with hybrid functionals and van der Waals interactions. It treats molecules, clusters, and extended systems (solids and liquids) on an equal footing. Besides DFT, FHI-aims also includes quantum-chemistry methods, descriptions for excited states and vibrations, and calculations of various types of transport. Recent advancements address the integration of FHI-aims into an increasing number of workflows and various artificial intelligence (AI) methods. This Roadmap describes the state-of-the-art of FHI-aims and advancements that are currently ongoing or planned.

Proton Quantum Effects in H$_3$S Electronic Structure: A Multicomponent DFT study via Nuclear-Electronic Orbital Method
Nuclear quantum effects minimally modify the electronic DOS in H3S but substantially alter phonon modes via S-H bond stiffening, indicating that deuteration reduces Tc mainly through phonons rather than electronics.

Does the total energy difference method for modelling core level photoemission fail for bigger molecules?
New gas-phase measurements of C 1s binding energies in anthrone agree with ΔSCF calculations, and a benchmark of 44 core levels in molecules with 10-40 atoms yields a mean absolute error of 0.19 eV.
