Researchers lead by professor Nicole Adelstein at the San Francisco State University used mat3ra.com to investigate electronic properties of next-generation materials for solid state Li-ion batteries.
Researchers lead by professor Nicole Adelstein at the San Francisco State University used mat3ra.com to investigate electronic properties of next-generation materials for solid state Li-ion batteries. Quantum mechanical modeling approaches based on density functional theory and planewave pseudopotential approximation were employed. Benchmarking was done against other available computational platforms, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Results report mat3ra.com to be 2-to-3x times faster.
At my research group at the SF State the ability to quickly learn and deploy new digital tools is extremely important. The Mat3ra platform allowed us to leverage the latest advancements in cloud-based high-performance computing and complete the calculations faster.
