Materials Galaxy

Materials Galaxy is an open-source web platform for FAIR data-intensive research.  It allows the combination of software tools from different domains into complex workflows, where data can be managed and results can be easily shared, published and reproduced.  The platform’s computing capabilities are scalable and is reasonable adaptable to new domains.

A state-of-the-art resource, Materials Galaxy provides:

  • Computing and data analysis capabilities for muon experiments and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) experiments connected to catalysis
  • Availability to all STFC departments and the Diamond Light Source, including external collaborators and users
  • A vibrant and growing global community of users
  • A training platform for the use of Galaxy tools and to improve tool-development skills
  • Regularly upgraded to ensure it remains a state-of-the-art resource

Training and tutorials for Muon sopping site Galaxy tool is available from here.

Further information available from the Galaxy webpage.

Location
Materials Galaxy servers are located within the STFC Data Centre at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
