Trailblazing research on data-driven materials science

This article discusses advancements in data-driven materials science, focusing on the potential for breakthroughs essential to sustainable economic development, particularly in renewable energy and carbon-neutral processes. The BiGmax research network, active from 2017 to 2023, emphasized leveraging data-driven methods to accelerate material discovery. Instead of summarizing past achievements, BiGmax researchers proposed a forward-looking “Roadmap on Data-Centric Materials Science,” published in the journal Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering. This roadmap outlines future directions for integrating data-centric strategies to drive innovation in materials science, building on foundational work established during the project. Prof. Peter Benner and Prof. Matthias Scheffler, who led the network, highlighted the transformative role of data in addressing critical challenges in materials innovation.

In general, if you enjoy reading this kind of scientific news articles, I would also be keen to connect with fellow researchers based on common research interests in materials science, including the possibility to discuss about any potential interest in the Materials Square cloud-based online platform ( www.matsq.com ), designed for streamlining the execution of materials and molecular atomistic simulations!
