Thank you @bravo_abad for sharing this brilliant work by Zhao and team, teaching #AI the physics of folding on simple shapes before tackling the brain's complexity.
Fewer resources, sharper results, real science in action.
This is exactly the kind of research we aim to highlight for our readers.
Follow and explore more studies like this with us.

Learn how surfaces fold in simple shapes, then transfer that physics to the brain
When the real system is too complex to simulate densely and too poorly sampled to train on, learn the shared physics somewhere simpler.
Zhao and coauthors do exactly that for brain development. Longitudinal MRI data are scarce, and generating large simulation libraries directly on realistic brain geometries is expensive. So they first create dense datasets of growing spheres and ellipsoids, where the mechanics of nonlinear deformation and folding can be explored systematically.
An encoder–decoder graph neural network learns those mechanics in the simple geometries, and the learned representation is then transferred zero-shot to MRI-derived brain surfaces. The intermediate ellipsoid acts as an anchor, testing whether the physics still transfers as geometric complexity increases.
The difference is large. For predicting brain-surface curvature, the physics-transfer model reaches a mean error of 0.46 mm⁻¹, compared with 7.66 mm⁻¹ for the purely statistical model, about 17× lower error.
The useful idea goes well beyond biomechanics: when data are scarce in the complex system you care about, look for a simpler system governed by the same physics and learn there first.

Thankyou @mathemetica for explaining the Schrödinger equation and quantum numbers so clearly!
This is exactly the kind of foundational physics we explore at @Academax_J.
Follow us for more on orbitals, and quantum concepts explained simply.
#AcadeMax#ZJUP#Science#Quantum
The electron in an atom exists as a probability cloud, not a classical orbit, as revealed by the Schrödinger equation.
Quantum numbers n, l, m_l and m_s define the energy, shape, orientation and spin of orbitals from 1s to 3d.
Angular momentum is L = ℏ √[l(l+1)], with L_z = ℏ m_l.
These principles enable quantum chemistry simulations, semiconductor design and quantum computing architectures.
