AI Is Designing New Physics Experiments That Work

At any rate, physics and statistics always run into limits as the experiment might be seriously difficult to implement (complex, unstable or costly), or at the limit of the data available. That's the day to day normal of these fields. Even some very basic physics or electronics lab setups are the bane of students - getting all kinds of results except the ones expected. But more seriously, often an experimental scheme is proposed (and that author gets credit for that) and it takes a few years before a team takes it on (and gets credit for that if successful). It's a commitment of time, money and judgment on whether the team can achieve it and thus claim the credit - or will never manage to pull it off.
