Welcome to Materials Galaxy!


Materials Galaxy provides access to tools for tackling computational challenges in muon spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Materials Galaxy is based on the Galaxy framework, which guarantees simple access, easy extension, flexible adaption to personal and security needs, and sophisticated analyses independent of command-line knowledge.

Reproducibility & Transparency

The history is the foundation of reproducibility and transparency in Galaxy. It captures inputs, parameters, and versions of the used tools. It can be shared with everyone, even outside the Galaxy framework.

Galaxy provides also a powerful workflow system. Workflows can be created by extraction of workflows from histories or from scratch with drag-and-drop. They are downloadable and shareable with everyone, no vendor lock-in. Click 'All Workflows' in the tool panel to see the available public workflows or build your own.

Contact Us

Materials Galaxy is run by members of the Muon Spectroscopy Computational Project. You can contact us in the Galaxy for Materials Science Matrix channel. We have expertise in applying computational muon science tools (including those present in Materials Galaxy) to complex physical systems. We are happy to provide support with learning Galaxy, learning our muon and XAS science tools, and applying these tools to particular physical systems.

Acknowledgment

We are aiming to maintain high competency and provide high-quality data analysis services to all our Galaxy users.
