We are delighted to announce a timely and impactful publication from the Department of Chemistry in Discover Applied Sciences:
“Generative AI as Chemist’s Virtual Assistant: A Case Study with the Chemistry of SmI₂.”

Link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42452-025-07913-2

This important work, co-authored by PhD scholar Palak Dawar under the supervision of Dr. Suranjan De (Assistant Professor), examines how AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini handle advanced chemistry queries.

Given the rapid integration of AI into scientific disciplines, this study arrives at a highly relevant moment — offering early insights into both the potential and limitations of AI as a tool in chemical research and education.

The findings indicate that while AI often provides accurate responses, its outputs can vary — emphasizing the continuing need for expert validation and careful prompting.

A meaningful contribution to understanding AI’s emerging role in scientific problem-solving.

The scientific community is standing on the verge of the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical education and research. While the increasing role of AI-based technologies in research is inevitable, it is of paramount importance to verify and improve the output of AI-powered generative...
