    We've seen how artificial intelligence has made quantum experimentation easier, and now machine learning is being implemented in other areas of scientific experimentation. A team of researchers from the Australian National University, University of Adelaide and the University of South Wales Australian Defence Force Academy (phew) used an algorithm to recreate a Nobel Prize-winning experiment that created a Bose-Einstein condensate. In simpler terms, the physicists made ultra-cold gas (1 microkelvin, less than "a billionth of a degree above absolute zero"), and then let the AI take over the rest of the experiment.
