Materials Cloud

Materials Cloud is a web platform conceived to assist Materials Scientists

A platform for open science with educational, research, and archiving tools, simulation software and services, curated and raw data.

Scientific Highlights

  • A computational peek inside the lower Earth mantle

  • Using computations to accelerate the search for new superconductors

  • A stress test for copper-tungsten nanomultilayers

  • Hybrid crystal-glass materials from meteorites transform heat control

Feature Stories

  • Where magnetism and ferroelectricity meet: how MARVEL scientists found a very special multiferroic

  • The search for topological materials in MARVEL: a joint effort of theory and experiment

  • The story of Jacutingaite: how a wonder material went from the mine to theory, crystal growth and experiments

  • Can quantum computers be the key to more natural and efficient modelling of materials?
