Sent the cold email on 2026-10-18 through send-and-log (idempotency key hermes:b36d8cc4-b822-4767-bff5-a280ac15bf7c:cold:first). Resend message id 01a14f8a-93af-771f-b2e7-060b17d76625, delivered path, CC Matt and Will. Dedup before the send: CRM name and email search (316 rows) found no Tran, Rignanese, or Charlier match. Resend had no prior thread for anh.tran@ or gian-marco.rignanese@. Apollo CRM had no match. Daily budget before send: 1 of 8 total sent, 0 of 4 follow-ups. The email cites their arXiv:2606.22234 abstract (fine-tuned MACE needed for interlayer energetics) and our MoS2 monolayer receipts. The co-PI is not emailed.

One research group, one question. Viet-Anh Tran and colleagues (UCLouvain, ICMN) fine-tuned MACE for twisted 2D bilayers, including MoS2 (arXiv:2606.22234). Our public phonon route returns spurious imaginary branches for a free-standing 2H-MoS2 monolayer at the literature PBE geometry, with Orb v3 (-35.06 THz) and MACE-MPA (-20.75 THz), while the bulk control runs clean. The open question is whether their fine-tuned model gives a stable monolayer spectrum at that geometry.
