Artificial intelligence tool created to predict the structure of the universe and unlock the mysteries of dark energy

An artificial intelligence tool has been developed to help predict the structure of the universe and aid research into the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter. Researchers in Japan used two of the world's fastest astrophysical simulation supercomputers, known as ATERUI and ATERUI II, to create an aptly-named "Dark Emulator" tool, which is able to ingest vast quantities of data and produce analysis of the universe in seconds. The AI could play a role in studying the nature of dark energy, which seems to make up a large amount of the universe but remains an enigma. When observed from a distance, the team noted how the universe appears to consist of clusters of galaxies and massive voids that appear to be empty. But as noted by NASA, leading models of the universe indicate it is made of entities that cannot be seen.
