Researchers use AI to create the most detailed Milky Way simulation

Researchers have created the most detailed simulation of the Milky Way ever, modeling 100 billion stars using AI. This AI-assisted simulation tracks individual stars over 10,000 years, offering unprecedented resolution. It achieves this by using deep learning to predict supernova gas dispersal, making galactic physics 100 times faster. The breakthrough, presented at SC'25, could accelerate simulations across various scientific fields, transforming computational science and aiding discovery.
