An intelligence layer over real arXiv papers — finding the under-explored bridges between fields, tracking the instruments shaping the era, and reading what's emerging, honestly.
Each point is one paper, embedded by meaning and clustered into topics. Search a term to light up matches; isolate a topic to see its territory.
Topic pairs that sit close in meaning yet are rarely bridged in this corpus — candidate white space. Each pairs real evidence from both sides with a speculative, AI-proposed direction. “Rarely bridged” means within these 24k papers — not a claim of global novelty.
Facilities and missions tracked across the corpus. Toggle to compare — watch JWST rise after launch and the pulsar-timing arrays spike in 2023.
Acceleration finds real breakouts. It also fails in ways most "trend dashboards" hide. We show both.
Using only data through 2022, the pulsar-timing topic was the single fastest-accelerating topic in the field — and then surged 10.7× in 2023.
Real-world event: the NANOGrav 15-year data set (June 2023) — evidence for a nanohertz gravitational-wave background. The data flagged it before the announcement.
Spearman correlation between pre-2023 acceleration and actual 2023 growth, over all 39 topics. Small topics mean-revert; the sample is thin.
