Beilstein database

The Beilstein database is a very big list of different chemicals that scientists use to study and understand how things work in the world around us. Imagine that you have a big toy box filled with many different toys. Just like you can pick out a toy from your toy box to play with, scientists can pick out a chemical from the Beilstein database to study and learn more about it.

The Beilstein database is organized like a big book. Each chemical has its own page in the book with lots of information about it, like its name, what it is made of, how to use it safely, and what kinds of things it can be used for.

Scientists use the Beilstein database to make new discoveries and learn more about the chemicals that make up everything in the world around us. It helps them to understand how different chemicals react with each other and how they can be used to make new medicines, materials, and technology.
