The Problem / 02

Experimental data is the largest unstructured asset in the AI era.

Materials, semiconductor and physics labs generate massive volumes of instrument data every day. Today it is scattered across instrument PCs, Excel files, Origin projects, local folders and paper drafts — invisible to AI, unusable as memory.

01

Hours lost on repetitive processing

Format conversion, peak fitting, plotting, literature comparison — done by hand, every time.

02

No reusable lab memory

Failed runs, parameters and instrument settings are forgotten the moment a student graduates.

03

Trial-and-error is expensive

Every experiment burns materials, instrument time and human hours — without a system that learns.

04

Generic LLMs cannot read your data

ChatGPT can read papers. It cannot read your XRD, Raman, SEM or electrical measurement files.

The bottleneck of scientific discovery is not the lack of papers — it is the messy, invisible state of real experimental data.

Product / 03A

Drop in raw instrument data. Get a scientific report.

Upload an XRD, Raman, SEM or spectroscopy file — or sync directly from the instrument PC. SciPhys runs QC, fitting, phase identification and literature comparison in minutes, not hours.

  • Format-agnostic ingestion — XRD, Raman, SEM, FTIR, UV-Vis and more.
  • Auto QC, peak detection, background subtraction and curve fitting.
  • Phase, structure and parameter extraction with cited reasoning.

Product / 03B

A workspace that remembers every experiment.

Every sample, condition, parameter, figure and decision is committed to a private Research Memory — your lab's second brain, growing with every run.

  • Structured timeline of samples, runs, parameters and outcomes.
  • Failed experiments preserved — with the lessons attached.
  • Searchable across people, projects and years of work.

Workflow / 04

From raw signal to scientific decision — in one continuous loop.

Step 01

Ingest

Drop in raw XRD, Raman, SEM, spectroscopy or electrical files. Or sync directly from the instrument PC.

Step 02

Analyze

Auto QC, peak detection, background subtraction, fitting, phase identification and parameter extraction.

Step 03

Visualize

Publication-ready figures in Nature, ACS, APS or IEEE styles — exported in one click.

Step 04

Compare

Match against literature, prior runs and your lab's private knowledge base, automatically.

Step 05

Recommend

An agent proposes the next experiment — which variable to change, why, and what to expect.

Step 06

Remember

Every analysis is committed to your lab's private Research Memory, growing with every run.

Live Demo / 05

Raw data in.
Scientific insight out.

Watch a real XRD file run through the pipeline. No slides, no marketing — the same output a researcher gets in their workspace.

Lower-temp annealing

Reduce strain — try 380°C for 30 min.

Demo data shown for illustration. Your files stay private to your workspace and are never used to train shared models.

Capabilities / 06

Built for the way real labs actually run.

A focused workspace for materials and physics teams. Six surfaces, one continuous research loop.

Project Workspace

One workspace per project — samples, runs, instruments, figures and decisions, all versioned together.

Perovskites, 2D materials, battery cathodes — every project gets a structured home, not a folder of files.

AI Analysis

Peaks, phases, parameters — explained.

Auto QC, fitting and phase identification with cited reasoning.

Figure & Report

Publication-ready, in one click.

Nature, ACS, APS and IEEE-style figures, methods and results drafts.

Research Memory

Your lab's private second brain.

Every sample, condition, parameter and failed run becomes structured, searchable, reusable knowledge.

Next Experiment Agent

The variable to change next — and why.

Helps you propose, screen and validate hypotheses faster — never replaces the scientist.

Solutions / 07

One product.
Three ways in.

From a single researcher to a regulated R&D org — the same workspace, with controls that scale to the buyer.

Why Now / 09

A narrow window.
A wide opening.

01

AI for Science is leaving papers behind.

Capital is moving from chat to discovery. Lila Sciences has raised about $550M to build AI Science Factories — the new frontier is real experimental data, not text.

02

Scientific data platforms are validated.

Citrine proves enterprise materials R&D SaaS. TetraScience proves the AI-native scientific data layer. Both markets are real, and growing.

03

Frontier models can now run lab workflows.

Multimodal reasoning, code generation and tool use are finally good enough to read instrument data and reason like a graduate student.

04

No one owns the instrument data layer — yet.

There is no Cursor, no Notion, no Figma for materials and physics labs. SciPhys starts where the data is born: at the instrument.

Roadmap / 10

Software-first. Always.

We do not build instruments. We integrate with the ones the world already trusts — and become the intelligence layer above them.

  1. Phase 01
    Today

    XRD Agent for materials labs

    A focused wedge: raw XRD file in, publication-ready figure, phase interpretation and next-experiment suggestion out.

  2. Phase 02
    Tomorrow

    Multi-instrument lab workspace

    Raman, SEM, AFM, FTIR, UV-Vis, electrical and thermal data — one project workspace, one team, one memory.

  3. Phase 03
    Enterprise

    Private Research Memory layer

    On-prem and edge deployment for semiconductor, battery and advanced-materials R&D — with audit, RBAC and data residency.

  4. Phase 04
    Ecosystem

    Instrument vendor SDK & API

    Embedded inside XRD, Raman, SEM and spectroscopy hardware — turning instruments from data sources into conclusion sources.

  5. Phase 05
    Endgame

    AI-native scientific discovery loop

    Closed-loop: model proposes → automated lab executes → data flows back → memory updates → hypothesis sharpens.

Vision / 11

Not an instrument company.
The intelligence layer above every instrument.

We are looking for materials, physics and semiconductor labs to join our early access program. Bring your hardest experiments. We will bring the copilot.

We'll never share your data. Lab pilots are private by default.
