General computational materials science research and development.

Getting started

First of all, introduce yourself! Write a post to #materials-science so the community knows who you are and where you're coming from. We'd love to hear about your technical background and any current projects.

You'll find that this team is likely more generic than some of the more focused teams directed towards specific materials classes. You may find the work going on in these interesting as well:

• #superconductors

• #permanent-magnets

• #thermoelectrics

If there's a specific area of materials science you're focused on, it may make sense to create a new team just for that. Feel free to do that and start that community.

Resources

People are working on all kinds of things here. We share resources that may be useful to your exploration and work.

There are a number of cool crystal generation routes you can use to start creating new crystals:

The other side of the coin is property prediction. There are a number of models that users have added to help you characterize the materials you're working with.

If you've developed software that could be useful to others, add it as an API and share it with the team.
