Bridging the gap between design and production for optical equipment.

Researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong are using machine learning to close the gap between design and manufacturing processes in photolithography - a method used in the creation of computer chips and optical devices. Photolithography involves using light to etch features onto a surface. However, tiny variations during production often lead…

The computational model successfully records the difficult-to-detect transition phases of chemical reactions.

Chemical reactions reach a 'transition state' when molecules gain enough energy for the reaction to proceed. This state is brief and hard to observe experimentally. The arrangement of these transition states can be calculated through quantum chemistry, but it is highly time-consuming. Scientists at MIT have developed a faster method using machine learning which computes…

Bridging the gap between design and production in the field of optical devices.

Photolithography, the process of manipulating light to etch features on to a surface, is crucial in making computer chips and optical devices. However, the performance of devices made using this process often falls short of their original designs due to minute deviations during manufacturing. To address this design-to-manufacturing gap, researchers from MIT and the Chinese…

Bridging the gap between design and production for optical instruments.

Photolithography, a process of etching detailed patterns onto surfaces using light, is a crucial technique in the design and production of computer chips and other optical devices, such as lenses. However, minute deviations during manufacturing can cause a discrepancy between the designer's intentions and the actual produced device. To help bridge this gap between design…

Deep neural networks demonstrate potential in being models for human auditory systems.

MIT researchers have conducted a study that suggests machine learning models might be used to better design hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. In the largest research project to date involving deep neural networks trained to carry out auditory tasks, the researchers showed that most of these models mimic the human brain’s behaviour when…

Computational model successfully identifies the hard-to-catch transitional stages of chemical reactions.

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a machine learning model that can quickly calculate the structures of transition states in chemical reactions. These fleeting moments occur when molecules have gained enough energy to proceed with a reaction, but are notoriously difficult to study due to their ephemeral nature.…

A computer science expert is expanding the frontiers of geometry.

Over 2,000 years ago, Greek mathematician Euclid, often called the father of geometry, revolutionized the understanding of shapes. In today's technological era, a 21st-century geometer, Justin Solomon, uses sophisticated techniques to solve complex problems related to shapes but often unrelated to them. Solomon applies geometry to study datasets for comparing their effectiveness in machine learning…
