Swiss consortium wins funding to establish ORD practices leveraging AiiDA and openBIS

A consortium led by Dr. Giovanni Pizzi (project leader of NCCR MARVEL’s Pillar 3, “Digital Infrastructure of Open Simulations and Data,” and Group leader of the “Materials Software and Data” group at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI), including also researchers from Empa and ETH Zurich, has won funding of almost CHF1.3 million for a 3-year project funded under the “ORD-R Establish” initiative of the ETH Board.

AiiDA features in Nature Reviews Physics “Tools of the Trade”

To mark the release of AiiDA v2.0, it was presented as a “Tool of the Trade” in Nature Reviews Physics. It gives a high-level overview of the developments in AiiDA itself, but also provides an insight in the ever growing ecosystem surrounding it. The plugin registry shows the activity of the user community that is starting to include industry as well as academia. This community is what makes collaborative projects, such as the AiiDA common workflows for example, possible.

AiiDA common workflows paper published

The paper “Common workflows for computing material properties using different quantum engines” was published today in npj Computational Materials. A team of AiiDA plugin developers, led by researchers in NCCR MARVEL and in the MaX CoE, have developed common interfaces for workflows that automatically compute material properties, and implemented them with 11 very popular DFT simulation codes. Also thanks to the use of the AiiDA workflow engine, they guarantee reproducibility of the simulations, simplify interoperability and cross-verification, and open up the use of quantum engines to a wider range of researchers.

Nature Nanotechnology March cover features a high-throughput study on novel 2D materials performed using AiiDA

The March 2018 issue of Nature Nanotechnology features a paper by N. Mounet and coworkers who have used AiiDA to identify close to 2000 well-known inorganic compounds that may be exfoliated into novel 2D materials and compute, for a large subset of over 250 of them, their electronic, vibrational, magnetic and topological properties.
