Science, connected.

Stromal keeps the working record of science connected across experiments, people, and time.

Why the working record matters

1887 · Michelson–Morley

Scientific notebook sketch of the Michelson-Morley interferometer emphasizing the observed null fringe shift

No ether drift was detected.1a1b

Null resultModern physics

1928 · Penicillin

Scientific notebook sketch of a contaminated culture plate emphasizing the unexpected clear inhibition zone around mould

A contaminated plate showed a clear zone.2a2b

AnomalyAntibiotic medicine

1964–65 · Cosmic microwave background

Scientific notebook sketch of persistent microwave noise measured across the sky

Persistent microwave noise came from every direction.3a3b

NoiseBig Bang cosmology

1987 · CRISPR

Scientific notebook sketch of the unusual repeated DNA sequence later recognized as CRISPR, marked with its then-unknown function

An unusual repeated sequence was recorded.4a4b

Unknown significanceGenome editing

What looked unimportant
became foundational.

Scientific memory

The result can survive.
The story disappears.

A rich working record losing conditions, observations, failed attempts, decisions, and rationale across time, handoff, and reporting while the result survives into a much smaller formal record
Why now

More of science is digital.
Intelligence can use it.

Scientific activity from experiments, microscopy, instruments, methods, and field analysis feeding a continuous scientific record that supports scientists, teams, and human-plus-AI intelligence

Stromal.

The scientific continuity layer.

So science can build on what came before.

The future of science
should inherit its past.

Not just the result. The conditions, failures, decisions, and reasoning that made it useful.
