Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the core workflows of scientific research. Yet reliable scientific reasoning requires access to accumulated scientific knowledge with sufficient breadth, depth, and standardization. Current AI scientists typically assemble scientific knowledge through workflow- and discipline-specific pipelines, which provide incomplete coverage, leave relations implicit, and make knowledge acquisition pathways fragmented. Here we present SciAtlas, a shared, machine-actionable cross-disciplinary scholarly knowledge infrastructure that integrates evidential, conceptual, disciplinary, expertise, and normative layers under a shared schema. SciAtlas further achieves a unified neuro-symbolic retrieval mechanism that grounds heterogeneous research objects, propagates relevance across the scholarly topology, and projects the resulting relevance field into the context required by each scientific workflow. Across three representative workflows, SciAtlas broadens trajectory reconstruction by recovering overlooked research branches, deepens opportunity discovery by uncovering underexplored bottlenecks and cross-domain insights, and strengthens innovation assessment by integrating evidence, expertise, and evaluation signals. Across three representative workflows, SciAtlas broadens trajectory reconstruction by recovering overlooked stages and branches, deepens opportunity discovery by uncovering underexplored bottlenecks and cross-domain connections, and standardizes innovation assessment by integrating evidence, expertise and evaluation signals. Extensive evaluations validate the foundational capabilities underpinning it as reusable knowledge infrastructure for knowledge-intensive scientific research.
