June 30, 2020: Database V2020.06 ReleasedWe've added several thousand materials including many magnetic ground states, improved the accuracy of our energetics, and fixed several bugs. This database release is part of on-going efforts in 2020 to improve database reliability and quality, following the introduction of our deprecation process last year. More info.
April 22, 2020: Materials Project Virtual Workshop July 28th-30thSee the announcement here. Limited to 60 participants. We hope you can join us!
Nov. 21, 2019: Database V2019.11 ReleasedWe've added 3,971 new materials and tagged "amorphous" materials as computed through our Synthesizeability Skyline. We also tagged materials as "theoretical" if the material does not match to an experimental structure from the ICSD. More info.
May 20, 2019: Database V2019.05 ReleasedWe have deprecated nearly 15,000 materials and added over 3,600 new ones. More info.
