Scopus AI is an intuitive and intelligent search tool powered by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).
Scopus AI is based on the use of natural language, which means that the user can write queries in natural language, regardless of keywords or logical operators. Based on the question or hypothesis entered, Scopus AI searches for publications published since 2013 and uses their abstracts to create an answer, i.e. a short summary of the topic, including references to reference articles found in the Scopus database. Additional features such as an extended summary, concept map, core articles menu, and a topic expert button allow you to explore topics in greater depth.
Term of active access: until May 31, 2024.
Reference material database containing information for more than 500,000 metals and plastics, ranging from basic data such as composition, mechanical properties, physical properties, heat treatment, microstructure images, through non-linear properties (strengthening curves, fatigue data, creep, etc.) to data on material bonding, corrosion, ageing, etc.
It also provides tools to assist in various engineering tasks, e.g. comparing and analysing data, finding substitutes, finding materials according to specific parameters, transferring data to CAE/MES simulation programmes, or instantly identifying a material based on its composition, e.g. from a spectrometer.
The latest Compliance module, which supports sustainable development, allows you to check the compliance of substances and materials with various international regulations, e.g. REACH, RoHS, biocompatibility, etc.
