👋 Hey Product Hunt Community! Here's a quick science nugget to kick things off: Bohrium is named after Niels Bohr, the quantum physics pioneer — and also the 107th element on the periodic table. Well, because, science is elemental! I'm Jefferson, one of the founders behind Bohrium — an AI-powered academic search tool built for researchers, students, and all the curious minds who've ever asked, "What if the Sun was a black hole?" We built Bohrium because traditional academic tools are often clunky, keyword-based, and just... not smart enough for today's science. On the other hand, most AI chatbots? They hallucinate papers, make things up, and leave you guessing. Bohrium does the opposite. You ask a real scientific question → it gives you reliable answers → backed by real papers → no hallucinations 🙅‍♀️ 🧠 What makes it even cool: - Extensive Databases: 160M+ papers, 160M+ patents, and 20M+ active scholar profiles - Smart Search: Understanding your intent, not just keywords - Deep Research: Literature is parsed, analyzed, and contextualized - Real-Time Updates: Stay up-to-date with the latest research You can think of it as your AI research co-pilot, or a search engine that actually understands science. If you've ever struggled with literature reviews, getting up to speed in a new field, or just finding a clear answer in a sea of PDFs — give Bohrium a try and let us know what you think! 🔧 Try it out now: www.bohrium.com 📧 We'd love to hear from you: support@bohrium.com Thanks so much for checking us out! 💙 We'd love your feedback, questions, weird science ideas, or just to say hi. — The Bohrium Team

Amazing concept. Does Bohrium work with reference managers like Zotero or Mendeley for easy importing and citation tracking?

Bohrium
Maker

@samuel_kahlo 
Hi Samuel,
Thank you very much! 🙌 We're glad you like the concept.

At the moment, Bohrium supports exporting citations in BibTeX and RIS formats, so you can easily import them into reference managers like Zotero, EndNote, etc.

We're also actively exploring direct integration with popular tools like Zotero for smoother workflows — definitely on our roadmap!

Let us know if there are any specific features you'd love to see 🙏

I’m a language major who often needs to search large volumes of English academic literature, and Bohrium has been a tremendous help.

Later on, I was lucky enough to connect with the team — and eventually became part of it. Here’s why I think Bohrium’s Science Navigator truly stands out:

✅ Precision-first search — it doesn’t just match keywords, it actually understands what you’re asking.

📚 160M+ papers and patents integrated — fast, relevant, and trustworthy results at your fingertips.

🧠 Expert-level query decomposition and support for multi-modal input (text, images, molecular structures!) make it a powerful tool for interdisciplinary research.

💡 Every result is traceable to real literature — no hallucinations, no guesswork.

It honestly feels like a major leap beyond both traditional academic search engines and general-purpose LLMs. A huge win for anyone doing serious research.

Bohrium (Bh), referring to element 107 on the periodic table, is derived from Niels Bohr, a pioneer in quantum mechanics and scientific exploration. Therefore, the name Bohrium symbolizes the continuation and innovation of scientific exploration.

Inspired by quantum mechanics, Bohrium aims to empower scientific research through technological innovation, making the acquisition, comprehension, and application of knowledge more intelligent and efficient. By redefining research paradigms, Bohrium expands the boundaries of knowledge and accelerates discovery.🚀

Grace Bates

Does Bohrium accommodate multilingual papers and patents or is the focus mainly on English language content?

Bohrium
Maker

@gracebates 
Hi Grace,

Great question!

Currently, most of the papers and patents in Bohrium's core database are in English, as it's still the dominant language in global academic publishing.

That said, we're actively working on expanding multilingual support. And — more importantly — you can upload your own papers or documents in other languages to the Knowledge Base, and let Bohrium Assistant analyze, summarize, and answer questions based on them.

It’s a great way to work with content in any language, while still benefiting from the AI's reasoning capabilities.

Let us know if there's a specific language or region you're working with — we'd love to hear more!

Madison Scott

This is exactly what researchers have been waiting for speed and accuracy. Is there a way to filter results by methodology or funding source?

Bohrium
Maker

@madison_scott1 
Great point — and thank you!

Right now, we support filtering by impact factor and journal, and we'll definitely consider your suggestion to add filters by methodology and funding source — great ideas!

Caleb Foster

Searching through academic literature and patents can often feel like piecing together a puzzle how do you make sure the AI grasps the subtle scientific language used in fields like quantum physics or molecular biology?

Bohrium
Maker

@caleb_foster1 
Hi,
Great question! At Bohrium, we take scientific understanding seriously — especially in fields with complex language like quantum physics or molecular biology. 🧠🔬

Here’s how it works:

When a user submits a query, Bohrium first decomposes the question, then identifies the relevant research domain. From there, it searches across our database of 160 million scientific papers and patents, and finally generates a structured, evidence-based response.

This approach ensures not only speed, but also accuracy and domain relevance.

Thanks for the thoughtful question — and we’re always improving based on feedback like this! 🚀

Jesus Porter

Can Bohrium highlight conflicting research or allow for side by side comparisons of opposing studies?

That would be a massive timesaver for literature reviews.

Bohrium
Maker

@jesus_porter 

That’s a fantastic suggestion — and we couldn’t agree more!

While Bohrium doesn’t yet offer automatic conflict detection or side-by-side study comparisons, we completely see the value, especially for literature reviews and critical analysis.

That said, you can already:

  • Upload your paper and read it with Bohrium Assistant

  • Highlight and annotate key sections

  • Organize your research assets in Bohrium's Knowledge Base

  • Get real-time updates on the journal/subject/scholar you subscribed

Thank you for the great idea — feedback like this really helps us build a better tool for researchers! 🙌

Grayson Parker

How does Bohrium deal with paywalled content or journals that require institutional access?

Will users be alerted if they can’t access the full text, and are there any legal workarounds?

Bohrium
Maker

@grayson_parker2 
Hi Grayson Parker,

Great question — and thank you for bringing this up!

When a paper is behind a paywall or requires institutional access, Bohrium will clearly indicate that the full text isn't available directly on our platform. In those cases, we provide a direct link to the official publisher’s site so you can access it through your institution or preferred method.

We do not bypass paywalls or offer unauthorized access — all content is handled in full compliance with legal and ethical standards.

Above all, user data privacy and security are core to our platform — we never compromise on that.

If there’s anything more you'd like to see around access transparency or integrations with open-access tools, feel free to share — we’re all ears!

Emily Garcia

@bohrium Is there a mobile version or app available for conducting research on the go?

Bohrium
Maker

@emily_garcia5 Yes, we do have a mobile app available, but for the full research experience (like reading full texts, generating posters, annotating, and managing your knowledge base), we recommend using the web version at www.bohrium.com — it’s more powerful and feature-complete for now.

Thanks for your interest, and feel free to share any feedback on how we can improve the mobile experience too! 😊

Alexander Green

That’s lovely. Can I bookmark or save papers directly within Bohrium for later review?

Bohrium
Maker

@alexander_green6  Of course! you can bookmark/save papers directly in Bohrium for later reading and reviewing! 🔖
Bohrium's Knowledge Base also allows you to organize your own research assets! And you can generate an poster of the paper for sharing with just one click using Bohrium.

I’m farfar, one of the product managers behind Bohrium.

Bohrium started a few years ago as a cloud-native scientific computing platform for simulating the microscopic world — atoms, molecules, and quantum systems. We wanted to help researchers run complex simulations without worrying about infrastructure.

But along the way, we realized something bigger.

Scientists didn’t just need computing—they needed context, tools, and insights. They needed a new way to discover, understand, and apply knowledge in the age of AI.

That’s how Bohrium evolved—from a computing platform to a platform for accelerating science.

Today, Bohrium is:

• A semantic AI search engine for 160M+ papers and patents, 140k+ journals,and 200M+ scholars

• A citation-aware assistant that understands scientific reasoning

• A Library spanning 26+ disciplines, offering structured, cross-domain academic knowledge

• A scientific Knowledge Base that helps researchers build custom AI agents grounded in their own data

• A notebook-based research workspace

• A home for AI4Science courses, competitions and developer tools

Of course, with a solid infrastructure! (Remember where we started, right?🤣

Our mission is to build a truly intelligent infrastructure for science, one that lowers the barrier to entry, respects academic integrity, and scales with curiosity.

If you’re a researcher, student, developer, or simply someone curious about where AI meets science, I’d love for you to give Bohrium a try.

And if you believe in this vision, we’d be incredibly grateful for your support today. 🙌

Let’s build it together.
