Researchers highlight how AI can support scientific exploration

Originally posted on The Horizons Tracker. Science offers one of the more interesting areas that could be impacted by the use of artificial intelligence, and I've written before about its use in enhancing medical research. A nice example of this in action comes via a couple of chemists from the University of Basel. In a recent paper they describe how AI was used to explore the characteristics of crystals as they hunt for those with certain thermodynamic properties. Crystals are commonly used in electronics because their application as both a semi-conductor and insulator.
