In the era of atomic manufacturing, the precise manipulation of atomic structures to engineer highly active catalytic sites has become a central focus in catalysis research. Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have garnered significant attention for their superior activity, selectivity, and stability compared to single-atom catalysts (SACs). However, a comprehensive review that integrates geometric and electronic factors influencing DAC performance remains limited.

Heterogeneous catalysis plays a critical role in many industrial processes, including the production of fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, and research to improve current catalytic processes is important to make the chemical industry more sustainable. Despite its importance, the challenge of identifying optimal catalysts with the required activity and selectivity persists, demanding a detailed understanding of the complex interactions between catalysts and reactants at various length and time scales. Density functional theory (DFT) has been the workhorse in modeling heterogeneous catalysis for more than three decades.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting synovial joints, often linked to environmental factors and genetics, characterized by both joint and extra-articular symptoms.
- The review explores the therapeutic potential of natural products in managing arthritis through three methodologies: in-silico analysis identifies molecular targets, in-vivo studies assess safety and effectiveness in reducing inflammation, and in-vitro studies examine cellular interactions and signaling pathways.
- Overall, the study suggests that natural compounds could serve as valuable adjuncts to traditional RA treatments, highlighting their anti-inflammatory properties and the need for further research to enhance their therapeutic benefits.
