A single AI model simulates the behavior of many substances, from sliding sand to folding proteins
Researchers at MIT, UBC and elsewhere have developed WorldParticle, a single deep-learning physical world model that simulates many processes, from flowing water to folding proteins, instead of separate hand-coded simulators. It could help model phenomena such as fluid sloshing against a deformable solid and granular materials like sand touched by a soft robot.
