Neural networks trained to predict material transformations showed the ability to foresee structural changes even with variable interaction strengths between different material phases. This capability was particularly impressive as it could predict phase transformations accurately despite ignoring solvent molecules, which were believed to be crucial. The traditional approach of using continuum solvent models proved to be inefficient and limited in generalizability, requiring manual effort in parameter fitting and equation building. In contrast, the neural network model automatically learned to construct a continuum-solver model in just a few hours, demonstrating its efficiency and ability to reveal emergent phenomena that were previously thought to be impossible. This breakthrough showcased the potential of neural networks in material science, offering a faster and more effective alternative to traditional models.
