 The Materials Project is a core program of the Materials Genome Initiative which utilizes high throughput, computing to discover the properties of all known inorganic materials. It provides access to its open dataset via multiple channels, including interactive exploration and data mining. Additionally, it is creating open source platforms for developing robust, sophisticated materials analyses. These platforms will allow users to rapidly prototype new materials in silico and provide researchers with cost-effective, data-driven materials design.
