Computer A.I. Solves 120-Year-Old Biological Mystery

A computer has developed a new scientific theory using its own artificial intelligence, without any help from humans.

At Tufts University, computer scientists and biologists programmed a computer to analyze the data gathered from numerous studies that focused on a mystery about a flatworm called a planarian (above) that has been puzzling biologists for 120 years.

It turns out that planaria are able to regenerate body parts, but how they do it is a complete mystery.
