ResearchHub just got an upgrade—v2 is now live!
Can (and should) academia be decentralized?

Our panel of experts will assess the feasibility of decentralization in academia and what it would mean for science.

Submit Questions for SciCon's Fireside Chat
ResearchHub co-founders, Brian Armstrong and Patrick Joyce, will sit for a fireside chat at SciCon 2025 to discuss and answer questions about ResearchHub’s vision, funding models, peer review, AI-enabled research workflows, and incentive design. The ResearchHub community is invited to participate by submitting questions here by November 24th, 2025. You may include your name and affiliation for possible attribution. Submissions may be edited for clarity and curated for relevance; not all questions will be addressed.

Researchers have developed the first 3D human brain-on-a-chip with all major cell types and a working blood-brain barrier.

This makes it possible to test whether specific drugs can cross the barrier and work as treatments.

Modern proteins are built from a set of 20 amino acids, but “early Earth” likely had only about 10 of them.

Using AI-based protein design tools, researchers show it is possible to build stable, well-folded proteins from just this simpler set.

New research shows that stress biases the hippocampus toward spotting patterns rather than storing detailed memories.

This shift helps the brain anticipate what’s coming next, but at the cost of recalling precise details.
November 11, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Researchers report the first evidence that immune cells from the blood and skull can enter the brain without a clear blood-brain barrier leak while remaining molecularly distinct from microglia.

This hints at gentler brain immune therapies compared to irradiation or heavy chemo.

30 days until SciCon 2025.

ResearchHub’s 4th annual conference bringing top scientists, founders, and funders together for a full day of discussion and open networking.

A new preprint shows that a common enzyme can “unzip” polyurethane foams (used in furniture and insulation) into its original components to remake fresh foam.

If this scales, it points to true closed-loop foam recycling, less landfill, and less need for new petrochemicals.
November 1, 2025 at 5:00 PM
A new preprint establishes the theoretical foundation for photonic extreme learning machines that compute by propagating light through diffusive media.

What are the highest-potential areas of research that are underfunded today?

We asked AI to imagine the answers discussed by researchers on ResearchHub.

Intermittent fasting leads to changes in metabolism, immunity, epigenetics, and the microbiome.

This preprint followed 114 women for 6 months, providing molecular evidence behind this popular practice.

Iron balance and immune remodeling are key to its health benefits.

Basic science creates the biggest breakthroughs.

Yet it’s the most underfunded type of research.

Researchers from the Wolfram Institute seek funding to explore how DeSci DAOs can realign incentives for better funding and avoid the traps of traditional models. 🧵
