A recent podcast explores how batteries are driving the move away from fossil fuels. A recent episode of The Climate Question podcast entitled The Battery Revolution highlights the central role batteries, and lithium-ion batteries in particular, are playing in the transition away from fossil fuels. This episode discusses how big installations and individual households both […]
A recent review that looks at interoperability within the materials and manufacturing sector has been published in The Journal of Industrial Information Integration. Although several reviews have been published on this topic, this review takes a broad look at the barriers to interoperability with regards to data from a European perspective. Vast swaths of data […]
Last week the much-anticipated Advanced Battery Manufacturing Workshop took place in the beautiful grounds of Homerton College, Cambridge, UK. This collaborative meeting, hosted by the BatCAT, BATTwin and AM4BAT projects, bought together over 160 delegates to hear 30 speakers showcasing their latest breakthroughs in data systems and digital twins, solid-state lithium-ion batteries, advanced battery manufacturing […]

The first results are in! In September of 2025, Semantic Materials launched their Semantic Data Management Maturity Assessment Service. Part of this service includes a self-assessment survey that enables materials and manufacturing businesses to investigate strengths and weaknesses and alignment with business goals when it comes to implementing effective semantic data and knowledge management systems. […]
There are vast amounts of data available within materials science and only a fraction of these are published. Such data can come from research and development or manufacturing and span experimental data, simulations and may be from diverse laboratories. Indeed, much data is often lost or inaccessible because the metadata is often lacking and inconsistent, […]
Another busy year at Goldbeck Consulting during 2025, so here we take a moment to reflect on the highlights from the last 12 months. Our sincere thanks go out to our clients, partners and collaborators, and we look forward to what 2026 will bring! We successfully completed two EU-funded projects early in the year, OpenModel […]
This morning, Gerhard participated online in a session of the RDA 25th Plenary Meeting, which formed part of International Data Week 2025 (13–16 October) that is running currently in Brisbane, Australia. This event marked the final meeting of the Harmonised terminologies and schemas for FAIR data in materials science and related domains Working Group that […]
Now that the 18th European Congress and Exhibition on Advanced Materials and Processes, FEMS EUROMAT 2025, has drawn to a close in Granada, Spain, we reflect on the second of Gerhard’s talks that he gave on Thursday as part of the “Digital materials: rapid materials, experiments, simulation workflows, ontologies and interoperability” session. The talk was […]
