Research means asking questions of the universe. For centuries, clever minds have advanced science by devising ingenious experiments designed so their results reveal something about the laws of nature as clearly and unambiguously as possible.
An international research team has now asked: Can this process be automated? Can artificial intelligence develop new ideas for experiments? The answer is a clear yes. In various areas of physics, AI can propose experiments that enable more precise results than experiments designed by humans.
In the journal Nature, the team presented the current state of this new approach to research.
