AI can make new discoveries on its own when taught physics

The neural network algorithms can be used to discover new material properties by incorporating established physics.

Researchers at Duke University have found that incorporating machine learning algorithms with known physics can give the mysterious black boxes new levels of transparency.

Researchers used an advanced machine-learning algorithm to identify and predict the properties of a metamaterials class, a group of engineered materials.
