Incorporating disorder into structure-property models remains a major challenge in computational materials design. Technological materials often deviate from ideal crystalline structures due to defects, chemical disorder, or amorphous phases, and key functionalities frequently emerge at interfaces. Addressing these complexities requires modeling techniques that bridge first-principles quantum calculations with large-scale disorder and interfacial effects....

The transition to sustainable energy solutions has long been hindered by the challenge of developing efficient, cost-effective alternatives to hydrocarbons. Hydrogen, a leading candidate for green fuel, offers a promising pathway through water splitting. However, its widespread adoption remains constrained by sluggish electrocatalytic reactions, poor catalyst stability, and high material costs, limiting both hydrogen production and utilization in fuel cells....
