GPT-5.2 AI Discovers New Physics Formula

📰 What Happened

OpenAI's newest AI system called GPT-5.2 found a new formula in physics. The AI was working on a hard math problem about particle physics. Scientists shared the result in a new research paper. This is the first time an AI has discovered something new in theoretical physics on its own.

💡 Why It Matters

This shows AI can now help scientists make new discoveries. Before this, AI could only solve problems humans already knew how to solve. Now AI might speed up how fast we learn new things about the universe. Scientists and researchers will use AI in different ways now.

🔮 What Happens Next

Scientists will test if GPT-5.2 can make more discoveries in other areas of science. Other research teams will try to repeat this success with different AI systems.
