That could be very valuable. In many ways it’s like material science and parts of chemistry are skimping along on the fumes of basic science done in the 1950’s up to the 70’s at national labs. Good experimentalists made solid careers doing core research without chasing endless grants or the latest fads. Seems pretty much all publicity available chemical and material databases comes from that era. Some specialty areas have progressed way beyond that but it’s rarely systematically collected, unless you’re willing and able to pay lots of money for private databases. Those private databases of course largely build from publicly funded research. I hope this pans out.
