SciMaster: an intelligent assistant to assist research and generate research reports

SciMaster is the world's first universal scientific research intelligence jointly developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Institute of Algorithmic Innovation and DeepSense. Based on the scientific base model Innovator, SciMaster is designed to help researchers complete their research tasks more efficiently and effectively, and provides full process support from literature search, data analysis to experimental automation, covering a wide range of fields such as pharmaceuticals, energy, materials, etc. Users can access the main functions for free via the web site, and an invitation code is required. Users can access SciMaster through the web and use the main functions for free, currently in the internal testing phase, and need to apply for an invitation code.SciMaster's core strengths are the in-depth research capabilities and tool integration, the ability to generate detailed scientific research reports, and the support for users to adjust the logic of the task in real time.

Function List

• In-depth research report: Generate detailed reports containing literature, data and patents based on scientific questions posed by the user.
• multimodal search: Search the entire Web and 170 million scientific documents through WebSearch, WebParse, and PaperSearch.
• Thought Chain Editor: Allows users to pause and adjust the task execution logic to ensure more accurate results.
• Scientific tool calls: Supports active or automatic invocation of multiple scientific computing tools to accomplish complex tasks.
• Experimental ecological support: Integrate lab equipment and software to close the loop on wet and dry experiments through Uni-Lab's MCP service.
• open source ecology: Access to the DeepModeling community to support the development of sub-intelligences such as ChemMaster.
• Report export and sharing: Generated reports support one-click export and free sharing for easy collaboration.

Using Help

Register & Login

SciMaster is currently in beta and users need to access the https://scimaster.bohrium.com/ On the official website, click the Register button, fill in the email and basic information and then apply for an invitation code. After receiving the invitation code, enter the verification code to complete the registration. When logging in, use the registered email and password, or verify by the bound cell phone number. After login, enter the main interface, which is divided into task input area, toolbar and report preview area.

In-depth research report generation

1. put: Enter a scientific question in the task entry box, e.g., "Typical process of molecular dynamics in drug screening." Be as specific as possible and avoid vague statements.
2. mission disassembly: SciMaster will automatically split the problem into sub-tasks such as searching literature, analyzing data, etc. Users can view the splitting details in the right toolbar.
3. retrieval process: The system searches the web through WebSearch, WebParse parses web content, and PaperSearch retrieves 170 million documents. The search progress is displayed in real time, and users can pause to view intermediate results.
4. Generating reportsThe system generates a report with references, data and graphs after about 5-10 minutes. The report is available in "General Assistant" mode (concise overview) and "In-depth Research" mode (detailed analysis). The user can select the mode and export to PDF or Word format.
5. Adjustment logicIf you are not satisfied with the results, click the "Pause" button to enter the thought chain editing interface. Users can modify the task priority, search keywords or delete irrelevant sub-tasks, and re-run to generate a new report.

Scientific tool calls

SciMaster integrates a variety of scientific tools such as first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, and more. Usage is described below:

• unsolicited call: Enter a command in the task input box, e.g., "Use molecular dynamics tools to simulate protein folding". The system will call the corresponding tool and display the results.
• automatic callingSciMaster automatically selects a tool based on the needs of the task once the problem is entered. For example, if you are researching "2D material electronics applications", the system may automatically invoke a material characterization tool.
• The results of a tool run are presented as graphs or data and can be saved by the user to a personal knowledge base.

Experimental ecological support

SciMaster connects to lab equipment through Uni-Lab's MCP service. Users need to connect to the lab equipment on the Bohr Research Space Station https://bohrium.com Register for a lab account and bind the device. Operation Steps:

1. From the SciMaster interface, select the Experiment Management module.
2. Upload experimental requirements such as electrolyte formulation optimization.
3. The system generates an experimental program, calls the laboratory instrument to execute it, and provides real-time data feedback.
4. Upon completion of the experiment, a report containing the experimental parameters and results is generated.

Open source and sub-intelligence development

SciMaster supports developers in creating sub-intelligences through the DeepModeling community. Users need to visit the X-Master project on GitHub to download the tool interface code. Development Process:

1. Install the development environment and run pip install scimaster-sdkThe
2. Writing Intelligent Body Logic with Python, refer to official documentation docs.scimaster.bohrium.comThe
3. Submitted to the DeepModeling community, reviewed and made live. Existing sub-intelligences such as ChemMaster can be called directly.

caveat

• Ensure that the network is stable and that retrieval and experimental tasks require a real-time connection to the server.
• Literature citations need to be manually checked to ensure academic standards.
• Functionality may be limited in the internal testing phase, so feedback via the official website is recommended.

application scenario

1. (scientific) research in higher education
   Researchers use SciMaster to quickly search interdisciplinary literature and generate review reports. For example, the materials research group at Shanghai Jiaotong University used SciMaster to investigate the application of two-dimensional materials, generating a report in 5 minutes and improving efficiency by 400%.
2. drug development
   The drug screening team uses SciMaster to simulate molecular dynamics to optimize the screening process of candidate compounds and shorten the development cycle.
3. New Energy Materials
   In cooperation with Yibin New Energy Center, SciMaster optimizes electrolyte formulations and combines with experimental equipment to improve R&D efficiency by 10 times.
4. Analysis of daily problems
   Non-research users can use SciMaster to solve real-life problems, such as analyzing the "most scientific way to use air conditioning" for data-driven advice.
