Need a new material? New tool can help (MIT)

Thanks to a new online toolkit developed at MIT and the Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, any researcher who needs to find a material with specific
properties — whether it’s to build a better mousetrap or a better battery —
will now be able to do so far more easily than ever before.

Using a website called the Materials Project, it’s now possible to explore an
ever-growing database of more than 18,000 chemical compounds. The site’s tools
can quickly predict how two compounds will react with one another, what that
composite’s molecular structure will be, and how stable it would be at
different temperatures and pressures.

The project is a direct outgrowth of MIT’s Materials Genome Project, initiated
in 2006 by Gerbrand Ceder, the Richard P. Simmons (1953) Professor of
Materials Science and Engineering. The idea, he says, is that the site “would
become the Google of material properties,” making available data previously
scattered in many different places, most of them not even searchable.

For example, it used to require months of work — consulting tables of data,
performing calculations and carrying out precise lab tests — to create a
single phase diagram showing when compounds incorporating ...
