This article discusses the thinking behind the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), the central role of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), the expected gains, and the prospects for success.

This article briefly reports on the outcomes of a workshop convened by ASM International in December 2014 to identify best practices for implementation of a materials data infrastructure. The meeting brought together representatives from more than a dozen professional societies determine needs, identify barriers, and define methods to overcome them.

The evolution of carbon nanotube composites, as inspired by the Materials Genome Initiative, unlocks new potential for materials sustainability in challenging deep space applications. This article describes research and development work at the Institute for Ultra-Strong Composites by Computational Design (US-COMP), a NASA Space Technology Research Institute consortium. US-COMP has developed a novel composite material with mechanical properties per unit mass that exceed state-of-the-art structural composites.

News about ASM members, chapters, events, awards, conferences, affiliates, and other society activities. Topics include: ASM affiliate societies name committee chairs for the 2019-2020 term; ASM President Zi-Kui Liu discusses the ASM response to Materials 4.0 and the Materials Genome Initiative; progress report on the ASM strategic plan; professional profile for Danielle Cote.

The Materials Genome Initiative aims to enable discovery, manufacture, and deployment of advanced materials twice as fast as using traditional development methodologies, at a fraction of the cost. This article explores how semantic technologies address three of the key challenges outlined in the MGI Strategic Plan.

Scientists and engineers working on behalf of the U.S. automotive industry are nearing completion of a multiyear effort to accelerate the incorporation of advanced high-strength steels in American-made cars and trucks. This article reports on work to develop and validate an integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) model optimized for third-generation advanced high-strength steels.

Integrated computational materials engineering has proven effective in shrinking materials development timelines and accelerating the implementation of new materials in manufactured components. This article presents examples of aerospace alloys developed using ICME techniques and provides a glimpse of future applications.

To conclude the celebration of ASM International's 100-year anniversary, AM&P asked several thought leaders to share their perspectives on what the future may hold in various areas of materials science and engineering, including R&D, ICME, additive manufacturing, and nanotechnology. This article provides a summary of their responses.

Despite challenges, research and development scientists are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence when creating new materials. This article outlines what AI can do and why businesses are using it, illustrated by examples.

A mixed-reality application called HoloMicroscope helps microscopists make decisions and analyze data efficiently while using transmission electron microscopes. In the context of materials research, using mixed reality augments a user’s interaction by allowing them to see a TEM column and its control panels, while also interacting with three-dimensional holograms that are projected into their field of view. Introduction of mixed reality into a data-intensive research workflow could help accelerate scientific discovery. This article provides background about technology and a case study in its use.
