Researchers have developed a new framework for machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) that addresses the challenge of long-range electrostatics and polarization. This approach uses polarizable atomic multipoles to predict environment-dependent latent monopoles, dipoles, and quadrupoles, while also capturing non-local charge transfer and polarization through linear response. The framework demonstrates improved accuracy across various benchmarks and enables MLIPs to predict polarization-sensitive observables. AI
