| Abstract Scope |
The Materials Project is the worlds foremost database of inorganic materials, including over a hundred thousand crystal structures and millions of computed properties including thermodynamic information, electronic structure, elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric tensors, phonon band structures, magnetic properties, and more. This computed data and the code used to generate it is shared openly and free of charge for users worldwide, along with many 'apps' to explore the data for different applications. This has allowed a rich multi-faceted collaboration within both academia and industry to accelerate the design of new functional materials. This talk will discuss our latest advances, including ways in which MP has benefited from the larger community and in particular from experimental data, and how it has in turn helped drive experimental inquiry. We will explore the outlook for future collaboration between scientists using both compuational and experimental methods, including a discussion of our new user contribution platform. |
