Dark labs.
Bright ideas.

Dark Lab takes its name from the candlelit workshops where telescopes opened up the skies and microscopes revealed hidden worlds. Better tools expanded what one researcher could discover.

Today, AI helps one researcher read, compare, and synthesize far more research than they could alone. Dark Lab uses that reach to connect evidence across fields and develop testable ideas.
