Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “In recent years, so-called “Materials Informatics”, which use s information science such as data mining to search for new and alternative mate rials efficiently, has attracted attention. In Japan, material development throu gh so-called “Materials Integration” is also being studied. “Materials Integrati on” is defined as a comprehensive materials technology tool that aims to support materials research and development by integrating scientific technologies such as theory, experiment, analysis, simulation, and database, into materials scienc e achievements.
