For researchers · MES scientists

Design your next experiment from the whole field — not the last five papers you read.

The evidence you need is trapped across tens of thousands of PDFs, in inconsistent units, impossible to compute against. MESSAI turns it into one structured, predictive instrument — so you decide from the corpus, not from memory.

23,596 papers · 202K+ measurements · 835 parameters · free for early-career researchers

What you get

Three things every MES researcher is actually trying to do.

01 · Find what matters

Find what’s known and relevant — fast.

Search two decades of results as one structured corpus, follow the causal edges between parameters, and get papers, gaps, and outliers ranked to your system class — instead of deciding from the last five papers you happened to read.

02 · Design before the bench

Design and simulate before touching a bench.

Build a reactor in an interactive 3D lab, sweep the inputs that matter, and watch predicted polarization, power, and scale-up respond in real time — so costly trial-and-error happens in the browser, not the fume hood.

03 · Trust the number

Trust every number, with calibrated uncertainty.

Power density for ostensibly identical cells swings by orders of magnitude — corpus-wide CoV is roughly 1,285%. Every prediction ships as a value, a unit, a 95% calibrated interval, a confidence, and a traceable source. Never a naked point estimate.

Corpus CoV ≈ 1,285% — a trustworthy interval for a novel design often spans an order of magnitude. We show the range, not a fiction.

Where the data comes from

Every number traces back to a published, peer-reviewed source.

Source

Peer-reviewed literature — 23,596 papers across hundreds of journals and two decades of MES research.

Acquisition

Pulled through open, legitimate channels — Unpaywall, arXiv, Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, OpenAlex. No Sci-Hub, no paywalled scraping.

Provenance

Every value is carried with its source paper, units, conditions, confidence — harmonized to SI so studies finally compare like-for-like.
