Welcome to the Materials Science community in nanoHUB!

Here, you can find many resources for materials science research and education, including complete courses, seminars and tutorials on specialized topics, simulation tools that run in the cloud using nanoHUB's computing resources, and learning activities that use simulations.  

Everyone is welcome to explore the nanoHUB resources collected here. 

Materials science faculty and researchers are invited to join this community to take part in discussions and access additional functionalities of this nanoHUB group.

Scroll down this page or use the menu to find links to the different materials science resources.

Materials Science Seminars and Tutorials

Much of the material is freely accessible by any visitor, but by joining this group, you can participate in discussion forums on topics of interest to you, or work on a project with other group members. Additionally, as a group member you may receive notifications about new materials and events of interest to the materials science group members. 

You can also contribute substantial resources to nanoHUB through the resource contribution process, and then send a message to the group manager so that links to those resources can be added to this group.  Three resources including a course with instructions on how to use the Rappture toolkit and publish a simulation tool on nanoHUB are here.
