Open-source construction ERP with AI-powered cost matching, BOQ generation, and PDF/CAD/BIM takeoff; 42 regional catalogues, 21 languages, 71 modules (DataDrivenConstruction, 717+ stars, AGPL-3.0, 2026)

Open-source AI workbench for scientific research that automates the full research loop — literature review, hypothesis generation, code writing, experiment execution, database querying, and report writing — with 290+ skills, specialized research agents, and a browser-based workspace (1453+ stars, Apache 2.0, 2026)

PureJsImage is a free, open-source TypeScript library for decoding, inspecting, processing, and converting ordinary images and scientific rasters in Node.js and modern browsers. It provides explicit readers for microscopy, whole-slide pathology, medical imaging, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, hyperspectral, and multidimensional array formats. These include OME-TIFF, OME-Zarr, Aperio SVS, DICOM, NIfTI, MRC/CCP4, NRRD, DigitalMicrograph, EMD, ENVI, and FITS. Range-backed readers can request selected regions, tiles, volume planes, and metadata while preserving native numeric samples where supported. The default package has no runtime dependencies. Optional JPEG and PNG WebAssembly accelerators require explicit registration.

A RDF vocabulary for OER content on the web.

Open-source, local-first, model-agnostic AI research workbench for reproducible scientific discovery; runs Python/R notebooks, searches the web, calls scientific data connectors, and produces inspectable reports, tables, and figures in a self-hosted desktop workspace (1.5K+ stars, Apache 2.0, 2026)

Curated, accuracy-first collection of benchmarks for evaluating LLMs on scientific reasoning and discovery across mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and agentic science (subinium, 29+ stars, MIT License, 2026)

Offline-first scientific writing workspace powered by Claude, integrating LaTeX, Python, and 100+ scientific skills with local execution, Zotero integration, and privacy-focused design (2026)

AI-driven desktop workbench for computational materials science with an interactive 3D structure editor, natural-language CatBot assistant, visual DAG workflow engine, remote-cluster access, and HPC job submission for VASP, ORCA, CP2K, Quantum ESPRESSO, GPAW, DFTB+, SIESTA, and LAMMPS (172+ stars, AGPL-3.0, 2026)

Auto-generates clean, customizable academic CVs from open research data (OpenAlex, ORCID, Crossref, DataCite, Open Editors Plus). A single canonical CV object drives every output format (HTML, PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, Markdown); citations render through CSL; and the account holder is matched by persistent identifier (ORCID / OpenAlex ID) rather than name string. Free for individuals, open-source, and FAIR by design.

An interactive structure/property explorer for materials and molecules.
