Wednesday, March 18, 2026 - AiiDA v2.8.0 released
We are happy to announce the release of AiiDA v2.8.0! This minor release brings important improvements to the
BaseRestartWorkChain, the engine, stashing, typing coverage, and dependency updates. It also includes several fixes for connection and resource leaks, with further improvements planned for upcoming releases.Wednesday, February 18, 2026 - Under the Hood of the Materys Platform: Secure SSH Agent Forwarding for AiiDA
At Materys SRL, a SISSA startup, our mission is to democratize access to numerical simulations. We believe the greatest barrier to broader adoption isn’t the science itself—whether chemistry, physics, or materials—but the technical complexities of running simulations on HPC systems. Users often struggle with low-level numerical parameters, implementation details, and the intricacies of authentication and data management, rather than the scientific questions they aim to answer.
Friday, January 23, 2026 - Live monitoring of running simulations with AiiDA
Monitoring running simulations is a powerful way to make workflows more robust. Instead of just submitting a job and waiting for it to finish, monitoring allows AiiDA to periodically check the status of a calculation while it is still running and, if needed, take action: e.g., stopping it, modifying parameters, or adjusting inputs dynamically.
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 - AiiDA v2.7.2 released
We just released a new version of AiiDA, v2.7.2. This patch release comes with a number of important bug fixes to the CLI, storage, archive, and transport modules, so we strongly recommend upgrading from prior 2.7.x versions.
Friday, November 21, 2025 - Putting the human back in the loop: Interactive workflows with AiiDA
In this post, we’ll explore how to design AiiDA WorkChains that wait for human feedback, workflows where you get to interactively guide the process.
