Description

Description

The Materials Project, co-founded by Kristin Persson and Gerbrand Ceder, is a data-driven materials design initiative that integrates first principles, computation, high performance computing, and machine learning to accelerate materials discovery. It provides open access to computed materials data and analysis tools. The project is now being integrated with an automated robotics lab (A-Lab) to combine computational simulations with physical experimentation driven by AI, aiming to shorten the timeline for materials deployment and enable leapfrogging in materials innovation.
