Physicists from Bayreuth have developed a new method for studying liquid and soft matter using artificial intelligence. In a study now published in the renowned journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America" (PNAS), they open up a new chapter in density functional theory with their "neural functional theory".
