In 1694, Isaac Newton posed the Kissing Number Problem — a deceptively simple question about the limits of geometry. More than three centuries later, students and collaborators from Peking University trained AI to explore high-dimensional space, uncovering new structures and advancing long-standing results. Follow the team’s journey to see how they modeled the problem, trained the system, and pushed the boundaries of sphere packing. #PKUResearch #InnovatewithPKU #PKUMaths | Peking University
