Duke University's AI-powered microscope, ATOMIC, speeds up imaging and data processing, analyzing materials as accurately as a trained graduate student in a fraction of the time.
"The system we've built doesn’t just follow instructions, it understands them,"
said Haozhe "Harry" Wang, adding that ATOMIC can assess a sample, make decisions on its own, and produce results as well as a human expert.
The results, published in ACS Nano, may point to a new era of autonomous research, where AI systems work alongside humans to design experiments, run instruments, and interpret data.
