Scientists used AI to crack one of water's biggest mysteries

Waters odd behavior becomes even more dramatic when it is supercooled, but scientists have struggled to compare the many different ways of describing its microscopic structure. Researchers at the University of Osaka used an AI model trained on computer simulations to evaluate 16 different structural descriptors. The system identified the most effective ways to distinguish between waters two competing liquid states, providing a clearer framework for studying one of natures most mysterious substan...
