MIT Project Becomes Hybrid Aircraft Factory in Ohio

Argonne National Laboratory is part of STREAMLINE, a research project using AI and supercomputers to tackle a major nuclear physics problem. Researchers are training neural networks to model the complex behavior of protons and neutrons inside atomic nuclei. The approach can scale to about 100 interacting particles, compared with roughly a dozen for some earlier methods, potentially enabling more realistic nuclear simulations.
