MainMolecular simulation is a cornerstone of material discovery and molecular design. While the prediction of energy and forces is often sufficient for structural dynamics, advanced computational chemistry workflows often depend on the molecular Hessian1,2. By describing the local curvature of the potential energy surface (PES), the Hessian is foundational to many computational workflows. Second-order geometry optimization relies on the curvature information to rapidly and reliably converge to equilibrium structures3. Transition state searches and extrema classification depend on the Hessian to correctly identify saddle points and reaction barriers, which are essential for parameterizing reaction rates and microkinetic models for longer time- and length-scale simulations4. Furthermore, mode-following transition state search methods directly leverage the curvature information to locate the transition states5. Finally, vibrational analysis uses Hessian eigenvalues to compute zero-point energy (ZPE) corrections and thermodynamic free energies bridging the gap from static molecules to nonzero temperature observables6.

Several states are dealing with ballot measures tied to taxing the rich — and there may be even more initiatives on this front in 2028.

Injective and BDACS plan to bring won-backed stablecoin KRW1 to tokenized asset markets as South Korea develops a regulatory framework for local currency stablecoins.

Coinbase reports growing adoption by banks and businesses, even as stablecoin market capitalization remains largely unchanged over the past year.

More companies are formally objecting to having tokenized versions of their shares available on the stock platform proposed by cryptocurrency exchange OKX and the New York Stock Exchange’s parent, the Intercontinental Exchange. In a notice updated Monday, the joint venture between OKX and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), called OKXICE, reported receiving 16 notices of issuer objection from companies including Microsoft, Google’s parent company Alphabet and Goldman Sachs. The objections did not include specific reasons for the notice to OKX, but one expert told Cointelegraph that they could relate to “not knowing what happens to their price” on the proposed platform. Speaking to Cointelegraph on Tuesday, OKXICE co-chair and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that these notices were “not objections,” citing the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) “opening up to a global 24/7 marketplace.” He characterized objections as some companies standing on the side of a pool while letting others jump in and test the waters for OKXICE’s tokenized stock model.
