Haiqu has launched AgenticOS, an AI agent system built for scientific discovery that uses cross-validation among multiple teams to stop general-purpose agents from quietly altering the science. Used in high-temperature superconductivity research on the Hubbard model, it cut circuit depth by 75%.
On October 8, the US Department of Energy announced 12 Phase II projects under the Genesis Mission, totaling $159 million, to embed AI deeply in the scientific discovery workflows of the national laboratories.
Francis Halzen, winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics, says the IceCube neutrino observatory solved "a very interesting problem for AI", and that AI played a pioneering role.
Anthropic says Claude, running for days with minimal human oversight on its Claude Science platform, computed the nine-loop six-particle scattering amplitude in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, a recognized frontier problem in theoretical physics.
