Machine Learning Speeds Metamaterial Design for Thermophotovoltaic Devices
A Duke University engineering team has used machine learning to design dielectric metamaterials that absorb and emit specific frequencies of terahertz radiation. Use of machine learning made it possible to calculate design requirements for the metamaterial in 23 hours — a process that without machine learning could have taken more than 2000 years, according to the team.

Light-Activated Biohybrid Bots Drive Muscle Activity Through Nerve Cells
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed soft, microscopic, swimming biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle tissue that is stimulated by onboard motor neurons. The neurons have optogenetic properties — upon exposure to light, they fire to actuate the muscle tissue.

Machine Learning Helps Tune, Characterize Quantum Dots Quickly
Using a machine-learning approach, scientists from the Universities of Oxford, Basel, and Lancaster are automating the process of characterizing and tuning individual semiconductor quantum dots for use as qubits. This machine-learning approach to tuning could reduce the measuring time and the number of measurements by a factor of approximately four compared with conventional methods of data acquisition.

Managing Crop Stress with Machine Learning, UAVs, and Hyperspectral Imaging
Iowa State University scientists are developing a machine learning system that could automate farmers’ ability to diagnose a range of major stressors in soybeans. The technology will use cameras attached to unmanned aerial vehicles to gather bird’s-eye images of soybean fields. A computer application will automatically analyze the images and alert the farmer of trouble spots.

OCT and Ophthalmology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Tue, Oct 8, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Presenter Nishant Mohan, Ph.D., will provide an executive overview on how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of medical imaging, and will demonstrate how to develop a deep-learning AI system, giving attendees insight into how to use this powerful tool. He will provide specific examples of the application of AI in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and show how the combination of these two techniques promises to have a significant impact on our understanding and treatment of ophthalmic disorders, and how this could hold important lessons for similar applications.
