Large language models, outstanding representatives of modern technology, have significant impacts on various fields of modern society. These models, constructed by billions of neurons, incorporate the extensive knowledge accumulated by humans so far, possessing the exceptional abilities to chat with people around the world fluently. Their human-like intelligence enables them to tackle various challenges of modern society and shows great potential for applications in various fields.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. Ziyun Wang from the University of Auckland in New Zealand delved into the potential applications of large language models in the field of electrocatalysis. This Perspective aims to elucidate how these AI-driven models help researchers deepen their understanding of catalysis and advance intelligent catalyst design. The work first examined the limitations of traditional experimental methods and multi-scale simulation approaches, such as high resource consumption, slow progress, and the constraints of human capabilities. The study then highlighted the significant advantages of large language models in electrocatalysis research. These models can transcend human cognitive limits and theoretically accumulate unlimited knowledge. Despite their enormous potential, challenges such as balancing generalization and domain specificity, and text limitations remain. To address these challenges, the paper introduced the development of multimodal large language models and their specific applications in electrocatalysis research. These applications include direct interaction with experimenters, continuous optimization based on experimental feedback, fine-tuning of pre-trained models, and multimodal data integration with visual encoders.
The paper emphasized the vast potential of multimodal large language models in areas such as spectral analysis, experimental pathway design, transition state search, molecular structure design, catalyst optimization, and problem diagnosis. In summary, multimodal approaches hold broad application prospects in catalysis, integrating various data sources to provide powerful tools and technical support for catalyst design, reaction mechanism research, and optimization of reaction conditions. This work also discussed large language models' role and future development trends in scientific research. While these models have demonstrated outstanding capabilities in knowledge accumulation, they may still fall short in creating new knowledge compared to scientists. Large language models should be deeply integrated with experimental and simulation methods to enhance their predictive power and multimodal learning capabilities. Such integration will enable large language models to more comprehensively assist researchers, thereby accelerating the development of scientific research. This development trend not only helps improve the efficiency and accuracy of scientific research but also brings more innovation and breakthroughs to the scientific community. The paper was published in the Chinese Journal of Catalysis (https://doi.org/10.1016/S1872-2067(23)64612-1).

Photocatalytic water splitting, a sustainable energy strategy, utilizes solar energy to produce clean hydrogen fuel. While it offers a promising solution to the global energy crisis and environmental pollution, the slow kinetics of photogenerated electron-hole pairs result in low activity for most semiconductor materials, even with sacrificial agents. To that end, integrating electron traps and reactive centers could be a feasible strategy to enhance charge separation and catalytic performance.

Osaka, Japan - A research group at Osaka University has uncovered how the view of other people and groups changes when individuals feel that they are understood by others by conducting an experimental study on the relationship between Japanese and Chinese people. The study shows that the role of felt understanding largely derives from a reduction in prejudice toward the other person.
Feeling understood by other people is a crucial determinant for positive interpersonal and intergroup relationships; however, the psychology behind this determinant was not well understood.

A global study on the prevalence of sexual extortion among adults has found the issue to be more widespread than initially thought.
Sexual extortion, or sextortion, is a form of image-based sexual abuse which includes making threats to share intimate photos or videos of a victim unless they comply with the perpetrator’s behavioral or financial demands.
The research, led by RMIT University in partnership with Google, surveyed over 16,000 adults across Australia, North and Central America, Europe and Asia and found 14.5% of respondents reported being victims of sextortion, while 4.8% admitted to being perpetrators.

Researchers from Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have successfully treated the skin diseases epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) and ichthyosis with confetti (IWC) by transplanting genetically healthy skin to inflamed areas. Transplanting healthy skin to inflamed areas has been used as a treatment option for severe burn injuries. They applied this technique from a common disease to rare diseases. Their research could pave the way for a new and effective treatment strategy for these challenging skin disorders. The study was published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
EI and IWC are rare genetic skin disorders caused by mutations in one of the two genes ...

Opioid giant Mallinckrodt, selling more than Purdue Pharma in the US, was forced by the courts to publish more than 1.3 million internal documents.
In The BMJ today, researchers Sergio Sismondo and Maud Bernisson sift through nearly 900 contracts which together reveal a carefully coordinated effort to shape medical attitudes toward pain medicine.
Pharmaceutical companies have a long history of managing physician and public opinion, explain the authors. For example, by recruiting physicians to serve as influencers, planting articles in scientific journals, coordinating conference presentations, and developing continuing medical education (CME) courses.

Cambridge scientists have grown ‘mini-guts’ in the lab to help understand Crohn’s disease, showing that ‘switches’ that modify DNA in gut cells play an important role in the disease and how it presents in patients.
The researchers say these mini-guts could in future be used to identify the best treatment for an individual patient, allowing for more precise and personalised treatments.
Crohn’s disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is a life-long condition characterised by inflammation of the digestive tract that affects around one in 350 people in the UK, with one in four presenting before the age of 18. Even at its mildest, it ...

The genetic disease Huntington’s not only affects nerve cells in the brain but also has widespread effects on microscopic blood vessels according to research.
These changes to the vasculature were also observed in the pre-symptomatic stages of the disease, demonstrating the potential for this research for predicting brain health and evaluating the beneficial effects of lifestyle changes or treatments.
Huntington’s disease is an inherited genetic condition leading to dementia, with a progressive decline in a person’s movement, memory, and cognition. There is currently no ...

PHILADELPHIA (June 10, 2024) – Researchers and patient advocates from the Monell Chemical Senses Center, Smell and Taste Association of North America (STANA), and Thomas Jefferson University came together during the COVID-19 pandemic to incorporate patient voices in efforts to prioritize research areas focused on improving care for people with smell and taste disorders.
To this end, in 2022 these collaborators conducted a survey and listening sessions with patients, caregivers, and family members affected by impaired smell or taste. They asked about their individual perceptions of the effectiveness of treatments, among other topics. Using an online questionnaire, ...

Research suggests that males and females differ in their experience of pain, but up until now, no one knew why. In a recent study published in BRAIN, University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers became the first to identify functional sex differences in nociceptors, the specialized nerve cells that produce pain.
The findings support the implementation of a precision medicine-based approach that considers patient sex as fundamental to the choice of treatment for managing pain.
“Conceptually, this paper is a big advance in our ...
