一个统一的科学多模态模型，能跨领域理解与生成生物、化学、气象等数据。

Scientific discovery is increasingly shifting from isolated disciplines to multi-domain reasoning, and AI for science faces a similar transition. Existing systems are either specialised for individual domains or unify scientific data mainly through text tokenisation and prompt-based interfaces, limiting their ability to handle diverse scientific inputs, produce modality-native outputs, and support joint understanding, reasoning, and generation across scientific domains. We introduce MKB, a unified scientific multimodal model for both understanding and generation, built around a shared Transformer backbone and modality-tailored encoders, adapters, and decoders. MKB covers six scientific branches, including DNA, RNA, proteins, small molecules, earth science, and medical images, and supports native outputs such as biological sequences, molecular strings, meteorological fields, and segmentation masks. Training follows a two-stage modality-then-language curriculum: Stage 1 aligns modality-specific components with the frozen backbone, and Stage 2 consolidates them with the language backbone using mixed scientific and general corpora. Experiments show that MKB achieves competitive scientific understanding across biological and molecular benchmarks, produces high-fidelity native outputs for weather forecasting, biological generation, and medical-image segmentation, and largely retains the general capabilities of its Qwen3-VL backbone. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed paradigm, suggesting that shared-backbone models with modality-tailored components can provide a promising foundation for future cross-domain scientific multimodal exploration. The model and code are publicly available at https://github.com/Shanghai-Academy-of-AI-For-Science/MKB and https://huggingface.co/sais-org/MKB.
