Bohrium
AI-for-science literature search with an unusually generous free tier.
At a Glance
- Publisher
- DP Technology
- Coverage
Deep-research literature review and Q&A over a corpus reported at 160M+ papers, journals and patents, with paper comparison, structured review generation and scholar profiles, sitting inside DP Technology's wider AI-for-science platform (verify current corpus size and underlying models).
- Access
Freemium — a credit-based free tier that is genuinely usable for daily work; premium plans for heavier deep-research use and advanced comparison features.
- Free alternative
- Ai2 Asta, Consensus, Semantic Scholar.
- Regional
Global interface and content, with a Chinese research and computational-science base that shows in its physical-sciences strengths.
Our Take
Bohrium sits at or near the top of most current AI literature-review roundups largely because the free tier is real rather than a demo, which lowers the barrier for students and unaffiliated researchers who can’t reach Scopus AI. Its computational-chemistry and materials lineage shows: it is stronger in the physical sciences than its general framing suggests. The usual caution applies more sharply here than with library-licensed tools — the corpus composition is less transparent than Semantic Scholar’s or OpenAlex’s, so verify what it claims to have searched before treating a generated review as comprehensive.
Power Tips
- Spend free credits on the deep-research mode rather than one-off questions — that’s where the value concentrates.
- Strong in chemistry, materials and physics; cross-check anything clinical against PubMed or Embase.
- Export and open the cited papers directly; the generated review text is a draft, not a source.
