How everyday foam reveals the secret logic of artificial intelligence

Key Highlights

• Remarkably, this restless motion follows the same math used to train artificial intelligence.
• The finding hints that learning-like behavior may be a fundamental principle shared by materials, machines, and living cells.

• For many years, scientists believed foams behaved much like glass, with their tiny components locked into disordered but essentially fixed positions.
