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

  • 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

  • Machine learning helps study the behavior of hydrogen in thin alumina films

Feature Stories

  • 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?

  • MARVEL and CSCS: a partnership built for exa-scale computing in materials science

Who's behind MARVEL?

Manura Liyanage

Manura Liyanage was a postdoc in the group of William Curtin at EPFL. In May 2023, he became a postdoc in the group of Vladyslav Turlo at Empa. Now he is back at EPFL as a postdoc in the group of Anirudh Raju Natarajan. Read more
