Callie Higgins NIST Abstract: Vat photopolymerization is a powerful additive manufacturing technique that address many applications ranging from personalized medicine to large-scale manufacturing. Unfortunately, these printing processes introduce micrometer-scale anisotropic inhomogeneities due to the resin absorptivity, diffusivity, reaction kinetics, and swelling during the requisite photoexposure. Previously, it has not been possible to characterize high-resolution mechanical […]

Zhexuan Gong Colorado School of Mines, Physics Department Abstract: Experimental quantum simulators have become large and complex enough that discovering new physics from the huge amount of measurement data can be quite challenging, especially when little theoretical understanding of the simulated model is available. Unsupervised machine learning methods are particularly promising in overcoming this challenge. […]
Join Author Elisa Gabbert for a discussion of the mysterious locus of control, exploring bias and competing interests, failings of memory and perceptions, the unconscious, parasitic mind control, the problem of free will and other ideas with troubling implications for how we view, interpret and respond to reality.
