A Chemistry-Native AI Workbench for Materials Science R&D
REACTOR is used by materials scientists across advanced materials, composites, ceramics, metals and alloys, nanomaterials, and surface chemistry. It reasons across peer-reviewed literature, your own characterization data, and connected chemistry data sources, with source references for extracted claims and supporting citations for synthesized inferences.
Free tier available. No credit card required.
Materials science R&D sits at the intersection of chemistry, structure, and performance.
A typical project covers material selection or design, synthesis or processing, characterization, performance testing, and the broader application context. Each step pulls on peer-reviewed literature, supplier specifications, characterization data, and the team's own performance results.
The slow part is reasoning across that surface coherently. Holding structure-property relationships, processing constraints, and application requirements in context as the material system evolves toward target performance.
REACTOR is a chemistry co-pilot designed for this work. It reasons across materials chemistry alongside the materials you bring in, links extracted claims to source documents, and keeps captured insights organized in your Research Space.
Where REACTOR Fits Across Materials Science
Materials science R&D spans a broad chemistry surface. Each sub-area has its own reasoning challenges, and each benefits from a chemistry-native intelligence layer.
Advanced & Functional Materials
Composites & Hybrid Materials
Ceramics & Glass Chemistry
Metals, Alloys & Metallurgy
Nanomaterials & Surface Modification
Sustainability & Materials Circularity
What This Looks Like in Materials Science
Concrete examples of how REACTOR's chemistry-native reasoning supports the full R&D loop: discover, analyze, capture, reuse.
Designing a New Composite Matrix
A composites scientist designing a thermoplastic composite matrix interrogates the literature on resin systems and fiber-matrix interface chemistry alongside the team's own characterization data. REACTOR reasons across interface behavior, with source references on extracted claims.
Optimizing a Ceramic Sintering Process
A senior ceramics chemist optimizing a sintering process for a functional ceramic uploads thermal-analysis data and recent literature. REACTOR reasons across densification chemistry and additive effects, with the analysis captured as a reusable Resource.
Investigating Nanomaterial Surface Functionalization
An R&D lead investigating surface functionalization on a nanoparticle uploads NMR/IR data and adjacent literature. REACTOR surfaces relevant surface chemistry and prior-art, attached to the Research Space.
Forking Reasoning on Two Alloy Compositions
A metallurgist forks a reasoning thread to evaluate two candidate alloy compositions for a thermal performance target. Both lines of inquiry stay live in the Research Space, with AI Notes and User Notes captured separately.
Web Research Inside REACTOR
REACTOR includes live web research alongside its core chemistry reasoning. Materials scientists use it to evaluate raw-material suppliers, compare equipment and characterization vendors, track standards and patent landscape, and access current industry intelligence from across the open web. Web results are presented with source provenance; users should verify critical safety or regulatory information against primary literature, regulatory databases, or supplier data.
