Ancient Greeks imagined that everything in the natural world came from their goddess Physis; her name is the source of the word physics.
![Molecular dynamics simulations of the Fs-peptide revealed the presence of at least eight distinct intermediate stages during the process of protein folding. The image depicts a fully folded helix (1), various transitional forms (2–8), and one misfolded state (9). By studying these protein folding pathways, scientists hope to identify underlying factors that affect human health.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-03/Slide1_0.png?h=c855054e&itok=aNbgxXsc)
Using artificial neural networks designed to emulate the inner workings of the human brain, deep-learning algorithms deftly peruse and analyze large quantities of data. Applying this technique to science problems can help unearth historically elusive solutions.
