AI isn't a scientist replacement—it's a discovery accelerator.
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is becoming a new tool for scientists, much like the telescope once expanded our view of the stars. This review shows how it aids in biology, chemistry, physics, and other sciences — not replacing humans, but accelerating discoveries. Imagine a lab that runs experiments and learns from its mistakes: what would you want it to discover?

Science is a vast kitchen where scientist-cooks seek new recipes. Once, they sifted ingredients by hand; now artificial intelligence—a seasoned chef—lends a hand. AI memorizes millions of flavors and suggests surprising pairings: through information search, the algorithm uncovers hidden patterns. For instance, a neural network discovered an antibiotic in a couple of days—biologists would have needed years.
This approach also shines in light analysis of stars: AI seeks exoplanets by faint twinkles, as if spotting spices in a dish by hue. In materials science, algorithms propose new alloys, and robotic labs immediately fabricate them, closing the loop from idea to test. The key is to make AI explainable so scientists can follow its reasoning. Then discoveries that seem like science fiction will become routine.
🎯 A neural network once proposed a crystal structure thought impossible—and it was successfully created in the lab. Now that material is being explored for future electronics.
