Maintenance complete. All services are now operational. Current status: 🟩 all services online

The MDF storage cluster is undergoing routine annual maintenance today. Data may be unavailable temporarily, but we will be back soon! Current status: 🟥 storage offline

Thanks to the upgrade team at NCSA, the storage cluster was back online this weekend. All systems are operating normally. 🟢

The MDF storage cluster is undergoing routine annual maintenance this weekend. Data may be unavailable temporarily, but will be back soon!

🟢 All services are good. Downtime was limited to a few minutes here and there in the early afternoon. Please proceed with publishing your data. 😎

MDF will undergo a significant redeployment of its core services starting tomorrow (Feb. 2) at 10a CT. Service disruptions are possible. We'll have things back running as soon as possible. 🦾

This upgrade was successfully completed by 10:30a CT. All MDF services are 🟢

MDF is undergoing a planned storage system upgrade today. The service is expected to be down starting at 9a with fully capabilities restored by ~10a CT.

My team and I just published 10 years of @argonne battery testing data on @DataFacility . 600 Li-ion cells with many chemistries:

MDF is working on a number of service upgrades. You may temporarily notice certificate errors or DNS resolving issues today as new DNS records propagate.

We are rolling out a quick patch that fixes a bug that made a number of our older datasets indexed from other services unavailable. This should take about an hour to complete.✨ If you notice any datasets with links not resolving, please ping us!

Group’s first paper on @digital_rsc. Dataset of 20000 VASP calculations (catalyst models) is available:

What are the most interesting open datasets you've used in materials science and chemistry? Share them here! We're always looking for more data to work with and share with others 🤓 #data #machinelearning #artificialintelligence #datascience #openscience #MaterialsDataMonth

Did you know you can create a Google Scholar profile for your research group? While GS is mostly used to track individual metrics, this process allows you to track and highlight team and project metrics. Here's 5 steps to get to this 👇 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Sooo pumped for #MaterialsDataMonth! Follow @BenBlaiszik to keep up! Even if you aren’t a materials scientist, this month will have relevant info for you too. Lots of cool datasets, research, and infrastructure tools! 🤩 #openscience #bigdata #ml #ai

Manual segmentation of X-Ray CT images can take a long time and may be ambiguous. Here, we trained NNs to segment such images automatically. We hope this opens new possibilities to understanding 3D dendritic growth in materials and automating analyses. https://t.co/7MNoRTs1tz

Data sharing mandates are set to become more strict. But, that doesn't need to cause you trouble. To help you get started, I made a video that shows how you can publish your data in under 1 minute with the Materials Data Facility. @DataFacility

New TD-DFT dataset from towards understanding the interaction of light and graphene by Alina Kononov, Alexandra Olmstead, Andrew Baczewski, @aschleife https://t.co/20psyIXLdq

@aristana_s presenting on the new 🌱@NSF Garden project🌱that kicked off last month. Working to make ML models discoverable and usable, and also help people understand applicability. Builds upon funcx, @ParslProject, DLHub, @DataFacility, @globus. @UChicagoCS, @MIT, @UWMadison

All services were fully restored today, apologies for the delayed report. 🟢Service status🟢 We will follow up with details of the new capabilities soon!
