In this century, materials science will become an ever more important factor in many technologies. The constant quest for new materials, improved performance, decreased development costs, and reduced environmental impact ensure the steadily growing importance of systematic materials development. Traditional trial-and-error approaches of characterization and design are giving way to computational methods that can rapidly identify suitable candidate materials for a variety of applications. These computational approaches, collectively termed “materials informatics,” provide an effective way to interpret and use material properties data in the selection and design of materials and products. The return on investment in using materials informatics approaches makes its inclusion a key resource in product research and development. The articles in this issue of the MRS Bulletin cover many of the methodologies that have been developed for this purpose.  We invite you to view the introductory article for this issue, "Materials Informatics" by  John R. Rodgers and David Cebon, Guest Editors.
