Digital ‘super-brain’ with a physics education speeds up technology development

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer simulations, and every new data point can take anywhere from ten minutes to an hour to produce. That bottleneck has made one thing clear. Smarter machine learning is useful only if it can learn faster, too. At Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, researchers say they found a way to do that by giving a neural network…
