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 new reference model for machine-learning–driven materials discovery

  • There’s an app for that: atomistic materials calculations made more accessible by the AiiDAlab Quantum ESPRESSO app

  • A neat solution for hydrodynamic heat transport

  • New algorithms allow scientists to simulate nanodevices on a supercomputer

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?

Who's behind MARVEL?

Ursula Vaucher

Ursula Vaucher has been MARVEL's financial officer since February 2016. Within the management team, she is in charge of all the questions linked to finance. You can read an interview with her here. Read more
