Has NN led to any fundamental breakthrough in physics research? I understand the impact from NN to scientific research, but I'm not aware of any big results in fundamental physics research because of NN.

Just because something isn't quantum or astronomical doesn't mean it's not physics. Physics is the study of the physical world, and learning, imagination, creativity, are all phenomena that we observe in the physical world but have only a primitive understanding of. It's a staggering advancement that we can now simulate key aspects of each.

The simplest cases will have been long enabled by simpler regressions and such, of course, but the more complex pattern recognition appears to be appreciated.
