“Scientists Don’t Yet Fully Understand” These Intriguing New Gravitational Wave Detectors Designed by AI

A series of promising designs for new gravitational wave detectors have been developed with a helping hand from artificial intelligence, which have left scientists with new questions about the cosmos.

Urania, an AI developed by a team led by Dr. Mario Krenn of the Artificial Scientist Lab at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, produced the new detector designs, which they say have already shown promise to exceed the capabilities of existing…
