In this episode, we are joined by Dariusz Matoga and Bettina Baumgartner to share the “Story of MPIF.” The Material Preparation Information File (MPIF) is a modular, machine- and human-readable standard for documenting synthesis protocols and key data. By capturing every detail—far beyond what’s typically reported in papers—MPIF tackles reproducibility challenges in materials research. With an easy-to-use online tool, MPIF paves the way for more reliable science, community-wide adoption, and even future machine learning–driven discoveries.
