How ClusterFunk works
Signal from science, not from hype cycles.
Every month, tens of thousands of new preprints.
Semantic clustering groups them by what the work is actually about.
Each cluster is then placed on its adoption curve.

Inside the November 2026 edition
The Technology Radar
Every bubble is a topic from the November 2026 edition. Size is its publication volume, height is how fast it is moving, and the columns are how far it has travelled from first papers to standard practice.
5 Key Insights Every Month
Computed directly from this month's research data, not editorial guesswork.
Physical AI
Velocity in top 3% of all tracked fields and accelerating +25% MoM, the most active research frontier this month
One of five this month. The other four come with the edition.
Ask Claude what's converging, without leaving your editor
ClusterFunk runs as an MCP server. Connect it once and Claude can read this month's research trajectories directly — velocity, maturity, attention gaps, and what is converging with what — with the confidence caveats attached, so it can't quote a number more firmly than the data supports.
