Washington DC, July 8 -- Researchers have created an AI-based simulation that makes it much faster to model how neutron star mergers produce many of the universe's heaviest elements.

This new tool could improve predictions of these powerful explosions while helping scientists better connect observations in space with experiments on Earth.

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-powered simulation that could significantly improve the understanding of how the universe creates many of its heaviest elements.

Created by an international team at GSI/FAIR, the machine learning model allows scientists to simulate the complex nuclear reactions that occur during neutron star mergers and other violent stellar events far more effi...
