Persson Group

The Materials Project is excited to announce MatPES, a quality-over-quantity r2SCAN and PBE dataset for training ML interatomic potentials! Huge thanks to our collabs at @materialsvrlab, the @cedergroup, and within MP! arxiv.org/abs/2503.04070

Congratulations to director of the Materials Project, Prof. @KPatBerkeley, who recently won a Distinguished Scientist Fellow award from DOE! Prof. Persson will present a talk on her work today at 10:30 AM PT; you can register here to join: science-doe.zoomgov.com/webinar/regist…

The next MP seminar will feature Alán Aspuru-Guzik on Monday 23 September at 10:00 am PT (1:00 pm ET)! See our seminar page for more info & to register and receive a Zoom link later today: next-gen.materialsproject.org/community/semi…

Our article on assessing the selectivity of solid-state reactions for improved synthesis planning is available now in @ACSCentSci! Feeling excited as we get one step closer to achieving the "holy grail" of predictive materials synthesis. @KPatBerkeley pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New paper from our group (plus @cedergroup) on understanding and promoting Mg-ion mobility! 🔋 Check it out in @ACS_AMI below. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out this talk by Ju Li on "A Universal Empirical Interatomic Potential" as part of the Materials Project Seminar series. youtu.be/WY4IL4Ovuns

@Wen_Mingjian was an excellent postdoc and a wonderful person to collaborate with. We wish Professor Wen the best as he builds his own research group! egr.uh.edu/news/202210/ch…

Happy birthday Kristin!

r2SCAN is a really great functional, but it's expensive. In our new paper we show how to mix energies from PBE and r2SCAN calculations to update materials databases that only requires a fraction of the total number of calculations. nature.com/articles/s4152…

The best group any researcher could wish for!

Thanks @datadoghq for the opportunity to show off #MaterialsProject at the #AWSSummit in DC: youtu.be/ZWmTJqY16ug! :) @awscloud @persson_group @KPatBerkeley @_cloudkate @d_crosario

@Materials_MRS @rachelectron @mattmcd1 @martin_siron @oandriuc @RyanSKingsbury, Jianli Cheng, @martin_siron and @KPatBerkeley have also already given talks. If you missed them, don't fear, they're all still here and happy to chat about them!

@Materials_MRS @rachelectron @mattmcd1 @martin_siron @oandriuc Kristin Persson DS03.03.03: "Data-driven Explorations of Materials Phase Stability for Improved Rational Design" Thursday, May 12, 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM Hawai'i Convention Center, Level 3, 313B

Our group has assembled at @Materials_MRS #S22MRS!! Excited to reunite with the #matsci community, check out our talks/posters and say hi ⬇️
