Deep learning drives autonomous molecular reactions with single-bond selectivity in tetra-brominated porphyrins on Au(111).

Summary: Scientists have created an AI system that acts like a tiny, super-smart robot chemist. Usually, making changes to molecules one bond at a time requires highly trained human experts working very slowly with special microscopes. Now, this new computer program uses artificial intelligence to look at molecules, decide what to do, and carefully break specific chemical bonds all by itself. They tested it by successfully breaking apart specific parts of a complex molecule step-by-step. This breakthrough means we can now build new materials and medicines much faster and more accurately than ever before!
