What is moving in technology
Every month we surface the research trends that will matter before they hit the mainstream. Trends show you what is accelerating. Convergences show you what is becoming inevitable.
Click any bubble to explore the full analysis. Position and bubble size reflect each cluster's full research volume over the past 3 years; velocity reflects the most recent 6 months. Color shows the primary real-world impact area. Or browse trends by category →
AI Companionship
Velocity in top 17% of all tracked fields and accelerating +400% MoM, the most active research frontier this month
View analysis →Solid-State Batteries
+160% month-over-month, the sharpest acceleration in the dataset right now
View analysis →Nuclear Fusion
482 papers, yet velocity in top 22%, an outsized signal for its size
View analysis →AI Drug Discovery × Protein Structure Prediction
Convergence score 72.1/100, the strongest cross-field collision in this month's data
View analysis →AI for Chip Design
-71% MoM, the sharpest deceleration this month. Researcher attention is moving on
View analysis →Each topic gets two independent rankings: how fast research is growing (Research velocity), and how much people are searching for it on Google (Public search interest). The gap is the difference between the two, on a 0–100 point scale.
Bigger is more notable, not "better." A high gap means the research is well ahead of public awareness, i.e. the biggest head start on a story nobody's telling yet. It says nothing about whether the research will pan out.
