Why this matters
Experimental researchers spend too much time moving between raw files, plotting tools, reference databases, literature, advisor feedback and writing. The knowledge created during that work often disappears after the paper.
- Students need faster understanding without losing rigor.
- Advisors need visibility without manual status reporting.
- Labs need memory that survives people, projects and file folders.
What SciPhys is building first
We are starting with high-frequency pain points in materials research: XRD evidence, publication-style figures, lab metadata, natural language search and cross-run comparison.
- Instrument-specific workflows rather than generic document chat.
- Scientifically visible evidence and exportable outputs.
- A product path from student utility to lab-scale intelligence.
How we think about AI in science
The best scientific AI systems will be grounded in measurements, uncertainty and domain workflows. They will help researchers ask better questions, not just produce fluent answers.
- Data first.
- Evidence visible.
- Human review preserved.
