By building computer models, researchers came up with six 2D configurations that seemed likely to work as self-folding 3D structures. They then tested the shapes with colleagues from Johns Hopkins ...

Applying machine learning to find the properties of atomic pieces of geometry shows how AI has the power to accelerate discoveries in maths. Applying machine learning to find the properties of atomic ...

Researchers have figured out how to train synthetic polymer molecules to behave -- to literally "self-assemble" -- and form into long, multicompartment cylinders 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, ...
