World's largest database of piezoelectric tensors

As another strong testimony of the power of high-throughput calculations, the Materials Project just released the world's largest database of piezoelectric properties for hundreds of compounds. Our paper on Scientific Data describes the details of the dataset, but the importance of the data is far beyond the technical details: We might be able to discover materials with outstanding piezoelectric properties from this growing database.
See the report from the Berkeley Lab News Center:
