National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) Thank you for using DICE and MatNavi service.

In principle, MatNavi of DICE service provides services to individuals belonging to organizations, and we utilize the user identification based on the domain of e-mail address.
But as a temporary measure, MatNavi service has been available to those who identify themselves with passport. However, we are going to end this temporary solution from the following dates.

  • End of application for MatNavi service with passport-based DICE account: January 31, 2024 [Application has been closed.]
  • End of service for MatNavi user with passport-based DICE account: March 29, 2024
  • Deletion of information on users with passport-based DICE accounts: March 29, 2024
Shift to your identity verification with mail domain name identification
If you wish to use MatNavi service, it is necessary to switch to the identity verification based on the e-mail address domain name following the procedure described next.
Notice: Your DICE account will be deleted if you don't switch your user verification method by the date mentioned above.

[Procedures]
(1)Please get a DICE account with email domain name identification. The domain name must be the one you are using with email in your organization. (for every users.)
If you have registered a DICE account using an e-mail address that you are handling in your organization, you can skip this step.
(2) Please do the registration of the domain name of your email address with us. (The application must be submitted by domain administrator of your email address.)
When (2) is completed, the transition of your personal identification will be completed automatically.

* It may take some time to do this registration, so please do as soon as possible.

　- Application for Domain Name Registration of E-mail address: https://dice.nims.go.jp/domain_apply.html

Your DICE account will be deleted if you don't switch your account by the date mentioned above. Please keep in mind.

Due to the increasing number of exhaustive data extractions (web scraping, etc.) from free email addresses of unknown affiliation even though we prohibit, we had no choice but to modify user verification of registration procedures.
In order to protect our data assets, we must unavoidably adopt the new method.
We would like any user to act immediately, then again it will be possible to link with DICE as well as with other DICE services.

]]> DICE's data collection and storage functions have been enhanced. - DICE本サイト tag:dice.nims.go.jp,2023://1.494 2023-01-17T03:00:00Z 2023-01-16T05:23:23Z National Institute for Materials Science... National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has moved the system infrastructure of the materials data platform "DICE" to the public cloud and added a system RDE that automatically structures and stores research data, thereby which has greatly enhanced the system's ability to collect and accumulate data from users nationwide. In addition, NIMS Materials Database "MatNavi" was improved to enhance user convenience greatly.


New service: RDE (data storage and sharing service)

The DICE has been publishing and operating the NIMS Materials Database (MatNavi) and the Materials Data Repository (MDR), and now a new data storage and sharing service (RDE) has been added. (https://dice.nims.go.jp/services/RDE/)
● What RDE can do
- Quick online registration of research data generated daily in laboratories.
- Registered data is automatically structured and stored in a reusable format.
- Accumulated data can be used in the research group's dedicated area or shared with other research groups. Furthermore, the data can be shared over a wide area.

MatNavi is now easier to use.

(1) Polymer Database (PoLyInfo) and Metallic Material Database (Kinzoku): The databases have been restructured to facilitate data management and linkage between data, and search and display screens have been improved.
(2) NIMS Structural Materials Data Sheet Online: A new drawing method has been adopted, and the files can be viewed using any browser.
(3) Inorganic Materials Database (AtomWork): The interface has been improved to be easier to view and use.
(4) Metal Segregation Prediction System (SurfSeg) and Interface Bonding Prediction System (InterChemBond): Algorithms have been added.

Centralized user authentication

A new authentication system has been introduced for the purpose of linking all DICE services. By using the DICE account (common ID) granted by this system, user authentication will be centralized. Users will be able to access each DICE service with a single sign-on as long as they meet the terms of use of each service.


NIMS is promoting the strategic collection, accumulation, distribution, and utilization of high-quality materials data from industry and academia as a "Data Core Center" under the "Materials DX Platform Initiative" of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. We will continue to develop and expand DICE's services and strongly support data-driven materials research to be developed on a nationwide scale.
