The materiability research network is a community platform, an educational network and an open materials database. It was initiated by Manuel Kretzer in 2012 and emerged from a joint initiative between the Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design, ETH Zürich and Interaction Design, Zürich University of the Arts.  Material World by 3XN Architects Institute of Making – UCL Self-Assembly Lab – a cross disciplinary research lab at MIT inventing self assembly and programmable material technologies aimed at reimagining construction manufacturing product assembly and performance. Materials Project – By computing properties of all known materials, the Materials Project aims to remove guesswork from materials design in a variety of applications. By providing materials researchers with the information they need to design better, the Materials Project aims to accelerate innovation in materials research.
