The MOFcast

You can now get in contact with the MOFCast: themofcast@gmail.comIn 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.You can visit the MPIF Dashboard by going to http://www.mpif4ever.comCome and talk to us at our poster at EuroMOF2025!Episode host: Ocean CheungIntro music: BensoundLicense code: AAAWZWQ5MWIE72GN
