Congratulations to Wenhao Sun for winning first place at the 2019 Berkeley Lab Research SLAM for his talk, “Mapping Uncharted Chemical Spaces”. In this competition, participants are challenged to present a compelling three-minute presentation...
Yesterday, Wolfgana Kerler from the Verge reported on German energy storage company Sonnen’s planned virtual powerplant (VPP). The VPP is slated to be installed in an apartment complex in Herriman, Utah. Construction of the...
Vahe Tshitoyan recent published an article on unsupervised machine learning of materials science literature (Unsupervised word embeddings capture latent knowledge from materials science literature). Just one month later, that article is one of the...
Earlier this year, Tshitoyan et al. published a paper on using unsupervised machine learning of materials science journal abstracts. Based on this unsupervised learning, the algorithm used was able to identify the underlying structure...
Wenhao Sun, a post-doc from our group, received awards for both Best Talk and Best Poster at the MRS Fall 2018 Meeting. He received a Best Talk award for his talk, “Nucleation of Metastable...
On Wednesday, December 19, the battery of a Tesla Model S vehicle caught on fire twice, leaving the car a smoldering mess. Tesla says its cars are designed with firewalls to prevent flames...
A recent article by Greg Satell on Inc describes some of the history of the Materials Project, from its inception by the Ceder group at MIT to its expansion through the Persson group at...
Berkeley news posts on the group’s Nature article on using the Mn2+/Mn4+ redox for Li-excess disordered rock salt cathode materials. See the post, which summarizes the article and describes the impact of the...
Professor Gerbrand Ceder is one of five members of TMS (The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society) to receive the TMS Class of 2018 Fellow Award. This award is presented to TMS members who...
Today’s lithium-ion battery was invented so long ago, there are not many more efficiencies to wring out of it. Now researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) report major...
