AI helps microscopes find the most informative nanoscale features

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed SimuScan, an artificial intelligence framework that uses realistic synthetic data to train AI to identify nanoscale features and autonomously target the most informative regions of a sample.

Penn State, Kurt J. Lesker Company partner to advance atomic-scale processing

Penn State and Kurt J. Lesker Company have launched a strategic partnership to advance atomic-scale materials processing for semiconductors, advanced packaging, quantum technologies and photonics. Central to the collaboration is the new Kurt J. Lesker Company Atomic Scale Processing Center of Excellence, known as ASPIRE, at Penn State. The center will combine the company’s equipment […]

Scientists are building a microscope powered by a quantum computer

Researchers at TU Wien, in collaboration with the University of Vienna, JKU Linz and the University of Innsbruck, are developing a quantum computer-assisted electron microscope designed to capture additional quantum information carried by electrons that is typically lost in conventional imaging. The approach could produce clearer images while reducing the number of electrons needed, helping […]
