The Materials Project is a multi-institution, multi-national effort to compute the properties of all inorganic materials and provide the data and associated analysis algorithms for every materials researcher free of charge. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to drastically reduce the time needed to invent new materials by focusing costly and time-consuming experiments on compounds that show the most promise computationally.
By computing properties of all known materials, the Materials Project aims to remove guesswork from materials design in a variety of applications. Experimental research can be targeted to the most promising compounds from computational data sets. Researchers will be able to data-mine scientific trends in materials properties. By providing materials researchers with the information they need to design better, the Materials Project aims to accelerate innovation in materials research.
DOE's role
Supercomputing clusters at national laboratories provide the infrastructure that enables their computations, data, and algorithms to run at unparalleled speed. They principally use
- (Primary) National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and Computational Research Division - Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) - Oak Ridge
- Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) - Argonne
- San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego
Partners and Support
Development of the Materials Project is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the
- Office of Science, via the Basic Energy Sciences (BES) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) programs and
- Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), via the Battery Materials Research (BMR, formerly BATT) program.
A notable source of support within DOE-BES is the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR). Support from Schrödinger Inc. is gratefully acknowledged for the development of The Electrolyte Genome and the Molecular Explorer.
See https://next-gen.materialsproject.org/about/partners for more details.
Contact
The Materials Project runs a forum at matsci.org intended as a shared space for several computational materials science projects, as well as general discussion about materials science. For the past several years, this effort has been co-run by the OpenKIM project.
