Data

Structured. Searchable. Immutable.

Why It Matters

In most labs, data is everywhere.

CSV files on desktops
Videos in nested folders
Calibration spreadsheets
Notes in notebooks
Logs in proprietary formats

History exists.

But it is fragmented.

UnicornOne treats data as a first-class system component.

Not an afterthought.

FAIR by Design

UnicornOne data is:

Findable
Accessible
Interoperable
Reusable

From the moment it is generated.

Data is not archived and forgotten.

It is structured in real time.

Real-Time SQL Architecture

UnicornOne maintains structured SQL databases:

Fast indexing
Rapid search
Efficient retrieval
Session-based writing

Everything is:

Immutable
Version controlled
Reconstructable

You do not overwrite history.

You build on it.

Everything in One Place

Data includes:

Temperature and pressure logs
Sample lineage
Recipes and execution states
BFM calibrations
Flux models
Tool outputs (RHEED, reflectance, etc.)
Workbooks and AI outputs

All linked.

All queryable.

All structured.

UUID + Timestamp Discipline

Every entity has:

A UUID
A machine-readable timestamp
A human-readable timestamp

Nothing is anonymous.
Nothing is ambiguous.

Reconstruction becomes deterministic.

Stop Guessing Where Things Are

No more:

“Which folder was that in?”
“Was that before or after the calibration?”
“Which version of the recipe did we run?”

Search by:

Sample
ProcessID
Time range
Tool
Parameter

Find it instantly.

Editable, but Never Lost

You can:

Add annotations
Attach metadata
Extend records

Without corrupting original data.

Immutability protects history.

Metadata enriches it.

Export and Integration

Data can be:

Exported to CSV
Packaged as HDF5
Uploaded to NOMAD Oasis
Integrated via API

UnicornOne does not trap your data.

It structures it.

The Philosophy

If you cannot query your history, you do not have history.

You have storage.

UnicornOne turns storage into structured knowledge.

Stop browsing file systems.

Start navigating structured experiments.
