In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...

The payoff was immediate. “When we fed the super-brain information about the laws of physics, it immediately got much smarter. Our calculations now take one tenth of the time previously required,” ...

Georgia Tech researchers demonstrated the mechanics behind neural tube closure, which can lead to severe or fatal birth defects if unsuccessful.

A digital 'super-brain' with built-in knowledge of the fundamental laws of nature can speed up the development of optical components for everything from quantum computers to eyeglass or camera lenses.
