Harnessing the power of supercomputing and state of the art electronic structure methods, the Materials Project provides open web-based access to computed information on known and predicted materials as well as powerful analysis tools to inspire and design novel materials. In this episode we talk with Patrick Huck, High Energy Physicist turned Computer Systems Engineer and Developer. Patrick helps maintain the project and he joins Nic and I to explain how the project works, how it's used and how the project leverages MongoDB. Get more information at https://materialsproject.org
