In this update, we added the ability to leave comments on data points – ask questions or start a discussion about interesting data. We improved our document search workflow, making it easier to find data nested in uploaded documents like PDFs and Microsoft Word files. We’ve also made more parts of our API public. You […]
Many thanks to Tolutola Oyetunde for contributing his Alkane Activation Database. Tolutola Oyetunde is a doctoral student in the Computational Activated Materials Laboratory in the department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in San Louis. His research group, led by Professor Cynthia Lo, are focusing on developing catalysts for C1 chemistry. This Alkane […]
This week we highlight a database of piezoelectric properties, published by researchers at UC-Berkeley and LBNL. Piezoelectric materials allow coupling of electrical fields and mechanical strain. This occurs when the crystal lattice is disturbed, causing a charge imbalance which results in a voltage across the material. Piezoelectrics are used in a number of applications in […]
Citrination is always growing and we continue to add information from datasheets for commercial materials. This week we highlight the inclusion of data for a number of Chevron’s products. Aquagear(R), Aries(R), Capella(R), and Delo(R) are examples of some of the product lines that we have added. The data includes properties such as viscosity, flash point, […]
As Citrination grows, we continue to add more data for commercial materials. This week we focus on a data set that was extracted from the Solvay Amodel(R) PPA Design Guide. This includes data for their range of polyphthalamides as well as comparative data for standard polyamides. Some of the properties given are thermal conductivity, tensile […]
We’ve released a new site design for citrination.com! Let us know what you think by emailing webmaster@citrine.io.
On TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy’s home page, you can find a link to the paper Data Mining our way to the next generation of thermoelectrics, which our CEO, Bryce Meredig contributed to. You can also spot the faces of two of our founders on the video freeze frame!
This morning the White House Blog published a piece entitled “Unleashing Digital Data to Accelerate Materials Discovery, Development, and Deployment“, detailing The Materials Science and Engineering Data Challenge for which we will be providing support. “Citrine Informatics will provide MGI challenge participants automated access to the large public materials dataset available through their Citrination web site starting […]
We added the ability to filter search results by measurement value on the citrination.com data search – for example, you can now filter for band gaps whose numerical value is between 1.0 and 2.0 eV. We also launched support for Google authentication. You can now login with any Google account – including ones on custom […]
We are lucky to have three fantastic interns joining us for the summer! They will be working on a variety of data-related projects and contributing significantly to the Citrine Team. Get to know them below: Jo Hill attended the University of Cape Town in South Africa where she earned a B.Sc. in Chemistry and Biochemistry […]
