This looks like a huge step forward. Researchers from DeepMind and UCL used AI to find a more accurate 'density functional,' solving a problem that has challenged chemists for decades. The AI didn't just find a black-box solution; it discovered a new mathematical form that humans can understand and learn from. This could dramatically speed up simulations for everything from new battery materials to drug design.
