UNT researcher laying foundation for discovery of new materials
Recently created database of materials allowed for discovery of new class of topological insulators.
Texas Scientists have been mapping the genomes of organisms for decades, but now a team of researchers has begun the process of mapping the "genes" of materials in an effort to simplify the process of identifying novel materials. Dr. Marco Buongiorno Nardelli, professor of physics and chemistry at the University of North Texas, and his collaborators at Duke University developed complex algorithms to log the property descriptors, which he compared to the genes of a living organism, for a wide range of materials. The properties are stored in a database, known as AFLOWLIB.ORG, which already contains information on more than 170,000 Full story...
