Materials Data Facility
The Materials Data Facility helps researchers publish, discover, and access materials science datasets, including simulation and machine-learning collections.
About Materials Data Facility
The Materials Data Facility lets researchers publish, discover, and access materials science datasets, including experimental, simulation, and AI/ML collections. The site lists 880+ datasets, 600 TB+ of hosted data, and 60+ ML-ready datasets, with browsing by those three categories.
Publishing uses a guided interface to add metadata and mint a DOI for a dataset. It requires a free Globus account and joining the MDF group, with uploads from local storage, Globus endpoints, or Google Drive. Foundry provides structured datasets that can be loaded by DOI with a few lines of Python.
