In an Age of AI, a Physicist Seeks What Endures

In July 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy selected 278 projects to fund as part of its Genesis Mission, meant to incorporate artificial intelligence into the scientific process. One project will use AI to help physicists search for a vanishingly rare particle transformation — a muon becoming an…

In July 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy selected 278 projects to fund as part of its Genesis Mission, meant to incorporate artificial intelligence into the scientific process. One project will use AI to help physicists search for a vanishingly rare particle transformation — a muon becoming an electron — by controlling different aspects of the Mu2e experiment at Fermi National Accelerator… Source
