Release 2026.5.28

Release 2026.5.28 introduces multiple new features. We highlight (1) a new step-by-step tutorial on using Machine-Learned Forcefields in the platform to perform structural relaxation, phonon calculations, and similar, highlighting Microsoft’s Mattersim as a specific implementation and NVIDIA GPUs as an accelerator; (2) a new Jupyter notebook demonstrating how to use MACE universal forcefield to do structural relaxation inside a web browser with no additional infrastructure needed, and (3) New jupyter notebooks demonstrating the calculations of surface energy and the equation of state.
