The Materials Project is a core program of the Materials Genome Initiative, aiming to accelerate the discovery of advanced materials through high-throughput computing. The project provides an open dataset accessible via multiple channels for interactive exploration and data mining. It also seeks to create open-source platforms for robust materials analyses. The Materials Project has computed structural, electronic, and energetic data for over 33,000 compounds, using over 15 million CPU-hours of computational time. The project aims to validate calculated data, disseminate information through web applications and APIs, and enable user contributions. It also provides analysis tools and a virtual laboratory for materials design, facilitating the discovery of new materials for various applications, such as solar energy, lithium-ion batteries, and catalysis. The project is evolving to incorporate new theoretical techniques and expand its capabilities, with the goal of significantly accelerating the development of advanced materials.The Materials Project is a core program of the Materials Genome Initiative, aiming to accelerate the discovery of advanced materials through high-throughput computing.
