I actually listed them up directly after.

For example alphafold: Protein folding. It is also now used in fusion reactor plasma control

It didn't solve protein folding. It led to new areas of inquiry, but it didn't solve it.

May I recommend reading Derek Lowe's "In The Pipeline" blog for a realistic discussion of the actual impact of Alphafold? [0]

And seeing as we don't have viable fusion yet, saying it "solved" it is really reaching. I'm sure it's helping, but solved? No.
