Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have adapted AI agents, originally designed for games like Battleship, to aid in scientific discovery. These AI agents learn to make decisions under uncertainty and optimize search patterns, which helps them navigate complex data more efficiently during laboratory experiments. The logic used in finding hidden ships is analogous to the process of searching for new materials. AI
