Materials Genome Initiative

The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) is an effort by the U.S. government to accelerate the discovery and development of new materials. It combines advanced computing, data analysis, and materials science to create a "genome" of materials properties and behaviors. By sharing data and collaborating across disciplines, researchers aim to speed up the process of finding and optimizing materials for various applications, such as renewable energy, electronics, and manufacturing. Ultimately, MGI seeks to enhance innovation and competitiveness in materials science while reducing costs and time.
