about this project

A public index built for discovery.

This site is an unofficial fan-made research index inspired by the discovery energy of Two Minute Papers. It is designed to help people find public papers, project pages, and episode context more quickly.

What this is

A fast front door into a long-running archive of breakthrough research moments across AI, graphics, simulation, robotics, biology, and more.

What this is not

It is not a mirror of videos, transcripts, or proprietary content. It is a guide layer that points users back to public sources and public references.

Why it exists

The original archive is historically rich, but a stronger index makes it easier to browse by importance, idea, and theme instead of by upload order alone.

methodology

How papers are surfaced

The project favors entries that are memorable, visually demonstrable, historically important, or especially well-linked to public research sources.

Ranking signals

Public source quality, broad significance, visual impact, and enduring relevance all help shape what rises to the top.

Discovery design

The explorer, archive, and knowledge graph each offer a different way into the same body of work: search, browse, and visual mapping.

Source policy

Whenever possible, entries link to papers, lab pages, or public project pages rather than generic marketing or sponsor pages.
