Abstract
βThe revolution in computation – both in hard- and software – is fuelling the dream of uncovering novel materials with extreme properties “in silico”, mirroring the interest in computational drug discovery. I will give some of the background of this, with examples from research in my group. We are particularly interested in the hunt for high temperature superconductors of technological relevance, and practically accessible.β
