Aaron Rafferty June 30, 2026 Key Takeaways Anthropic released Claude Science, a beta app that brings scientific databases, reproducible artifacts, and on-demand computing into one research workbench. It comes pre-configured with more than 60 scientific databases and traces every result back to the code that produced it. The beta is open to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users on macOS and Linux, with a funded AI for Science program attached. Anthropic released Claude Science on June 30, a beta app that pulls the scattered tools of modern research into a single workbench for scientists. The company is aiming the product at researchers and the pharmaceutical industry, according to STAT . The product is built around a few ideas. It comes pre-configured with more than 60 scientific databases that researchers can connect, it renders artifacts like three-dimensional protein structures and genome browser tracks directly, and it gives every output an auditable history so a result can be traced back to the code that produced it. Anthropic also lets users spin up computing resources on demand. Claude Science is an app rather than a new model, and it runs on the same Claude models a customer's plan already includes. Who can use it The beta is open to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users on macOS and Linux. Researchers testing it early have used it for tasks like single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, CRISPR screen design, protein structure prediction, and cheminformatics. Anthropic is also running an AI for Science
