Introduction
Welcome to the Materials Project.
This is public documentation for the Materials Project (MP). The Materials Project is a decade-long effort from the Department of Energy to pre-compute properties of "materials" and make this data publicly availablewith the intent of accelerating the process of materials discovery. In this contexta material can mean either an inorganic crystal (like silicon)or a molecule (like ethylene). Possible applications are vastbut might include better batteriessolar energywater splittingoptoelectronicscatalysts and more (see here for a list of publications).
