http://www.whitehouse.gov/mgi 材料基因组计划 To help businesses discover, develop, and deploy new materials twice as fast, were launching what we call the Materials Genome Initiative. The invention of silicon circuits and lithium-ion batteries made computers and iPods and iPads possible --but it took years to get those technologies from the drawing board to the marketplace. We can do it faster. President Obama, June zonI at Carnegie Mellon University

通过高通量、并发式计算 缩短材料研发周期,降低 Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness 研制成本。 June 2011 In much the same way that silicon in the 1970s led to the modern information technology industry, the development of advanced materials will fuel many of the emerging industries that will address challenges in energy, national security, healthcare, and other areas. Yet the time it takes to move a newly discovered advanced material from the laboratory to the commercial market place remains far too long. Accelerating this process could significantly improve U.S global competitiveness and ensure that the Nation remains at the forefront of the advanced materials marketplace. This Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness aims to reduce development time by providing the infrastructure and training that American innovators need to discover, develop, manufacture, and deploy advanced materials in a more expeditious and economical way Sincerely JOhn p. holdren Assistant to the President for Science and Technology Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy
