Capabilities

From question to discovery

CAS Newton does not just retrieve information. It reasons through it, connects it, and returns answers you can act on immediately.

A trusted scientific foundation

Every answer is grounded in the CAS Content Collection™, curated and refined by CAS scientists. Get conclusions you can stand behind because the evidence behind every output is authoritative, verifiable, and citable.

Science that goes deeper

Complex, multi-part questions become targeted search paths across chemistry, biology, and more. Science-specific capabilities including structure search, functional group reactivity, spectra prediction, and properties prediction surface what a standard search cannot reach.

Complex research that moves faster

Multi-step research workflows run autonomously. Vast reference sets become clear, actionable direction. As findings emerge, hidden relationships and trends surface across the CAS Content Collection without requiring you to manually piece results together.

Decisions you can stand behind

Get the evidence to generate hypotheses, validate assumptions, and support competitive analysis and trend identification. Verified scientific evidence sits behind every recommendation, so every decision your organization makes is defensible.

CAS Newton, everywhere you work

CAS Newton is available within trusted CAS solutions like CAS SciFinder®, CAS BioFinder®, and CAS IP Finder, powered by STN™. You can also experience the possibilities CAS Newton delivers in other workflow tools via CAS Connections℠.

Frequently asked questions

CAS Newton is an agentic AI powered by the CAS Content Collection. The AI lives within existing CAS solutions to answer your queries with well-sourced, scientific, actionable results in real-time.

CAS Newton is available to existing CAS SciFinder and CAS BioFinder users. The agentic AI is integrated directly into both solutions, allowing you to begin querying once you log in.

Users may encounter daily usage limits in CAS Newton. Please contact your account representative to discuss expanded access for your organization.

No. CAS maintains the confidentiality of user search activity. CAS does not use user search queries for any purpose beyond providing services to that user. User search queries are not shared with other users and is protected against unintended exposure. User data is never sold or shared with other users or outside of CAS.

No. User data is anonymized and aggregated so that we can observe patterns and themes in general user behaviors. For example, we use anonymized and aggregated data to determine how to identify and prioritize product content.

CAS is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all users, including the responsible use of AI. CAS does not leverage user search queries to build or train AI models. CAS maintains the confidentiality of user search activities in accordance with its Privacy Policy and in a manner consistent with the CAS Ethical Approach to AI.

Any AI-generated output is labeled as such to ensure the user is aware.

CAS employs robust training and testing to avoid hallucinations. Our AI solutions are built by scientists, for scientists, with accuracy at the forefront. They are rigorously trained, tested, and validated by domain experts using real scientific use cases to ensure accurate answers.

In addition, our AI primarily relies on expertly curated and indexed proprietary data rather than broad, unvetted external sources. By grounding outputs in trusted scientific content, we significantly reduce the risk of hallucinations, helping scientists work with confidence.
