Continuing a personal theme of applying informatics to innovation, I
thought this might be worth forwarding to the list:

> Seeking structure-property relationships is an accepted paradigm in materials science, yet these relationships are often not linear and the challenge is to seek patterns among multiple length and time scales. There is rarely a single multiscale theory or experiment which can meaningfully and accurately capture all the necessary information. The Materials Genome Projet is adding an "informatics" dimension to the analysis of materials science phenomena, by a process which can permit one to survey complex, multiscale information in a statistically robust and yet physically meaningful manner. The application of such "informatics" approaches could have a significant impact in materials design and discovery; in the same way genomics has had in the biological arena.
