Machine Learning Enables Label-Free Prediction of 3D Images from Transmitted-Light Microscopy
Machine Learning Enables Label-Free Prediction of 3D Images from Transmitted-Light Microscopy
Scientists have used machine learning to develop a label-free tool for predicting 3D fluorescence directly from transmitted-light images. Instead of fluorescence microscopy, the new method uses only black-and-white images generated by a bright-field microscope.

Neural Networks Predict Crystal Stability
Neural Networks Predict Crystal Stability
Researchers are using neural networks to predict the stability of materials in two classes of crystals: garnets and perovskites. They trained artificial neural networks to predict a crystal’s formation energy using just two inputs: electronegativity and ionic radius of the constituent atoms.

Rice Researchers Investigate 2D Materials for Maximum Optical Response
Scientists have used qualitative analytical modeling and first-principles calculations to determine the theoretical limit of the maximum optical response in 55 different 2D materials. The study suggests several 2D materials that could be used in ultrathin reflectors and absorbers for optoelectronic applications.

Atomic Clock Can Determine Absolute Timing of the Photoelectric Effect
Atomic Clock Can Determine Absolute Timing of the Photoelectric Effect
Scientists have determined the duration of the photoelectric effect using a tungsten surface. While scientists have previously been able to determine the time interval between different quantum jumps and show that different jumps take different amounts of time, until now it has only been possible to determine time differences, not the absolute duration of the process.

ICALEO 2018
ICALEO 2018
October 14-18, 2018 - Rosen Centre Hotel - Orlando United States
The International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO) is the premier source of technical information in the field. Laser industry professionals from academic and industrial settings will gather to discuss the latest in laser materials processing, laser microprocessing, and nanomanufacturing. Topics range from the interaction between a laser beam and a material to how a process can be integrated and optimized for an application.

Green Light on Lidar: Developing Low-Cost Systems for Autonomous Vehicles
Green Light on Lidar: Developing Low-Cost Systems for Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Oct 3, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
For driverless cars to see mainstream adoption, engineers must solve critical lidar design challenges. This webinar will discuss the factors crucial to accelerating the development of lidar, including the need to be able to quickly try out and identify new solutions; incorporate manufacturing and assembly limits into design constraints to ensure manufacturability; and simulate the impact of mechanical designs on optical performance. With tools that provide these abilities, teams can reduce development time and lower costs to win the race for autonomous vehicle market share. This webinar is presented by Zemax.
