The Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) provides Penn State researchers with secure, scalable infrastructure for storing, managing, and computing on research data, with direct connectivity to high-performance computing resources. MCL is now making it much easier for our users to take advantage of this infrastructure.
Synthesis and characterization workflows to make data accessible
Artificial intelligence is transforming research and creating new opportunities to accelerate materials discovery and improve reproducibility. For materials scientists, however, the complexity of real materials—including defects and variations that often determine their properties—presents unique challenges for applying AI.

A team from Penn State’s Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing and College of Engineering will test a smart lighting system in Pennsylvania nursing homes
Penn State researchers have received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant expected to provide about $3.6 million over five years to test whether a smart lighting system can improve sleep and behavioral and psychological symptoms among nursing home residents living with dementia.
Tiny wrinkles could reveal new behaviors in graphene, an exceptionally strong, conductive and thin material used in batteries, computer chips and other electronics. According to a new study published in Advanced Materials, small bends in graphene’s two-dimensional (2D), or one-atom-thick, structure can change the material’s electrical properties.
