Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a fascinating technique that creates three-dimensional (3D) representations of a scene from a set of two-dimensional (2D) images, captured from different angles. It works by training a deep neural network to predict the color and density at any point in 3D space.Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a fascinating technique that creates three-dimensional (3D) representations of a scene from a set of two-dimensional (2D) images, captured from different angles.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today’s computer technology. Conventional silicon processors are reaching their limits: they consume large amounts of energy, the storage and processing units are not interconnected and data transmission slows down complex applications.The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today’s computer technology.

A research team led by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has built and successfully demonstrated an automated experimentation platform to optimize the fabrication of advanced materials. The platform, called AutoBot, uses machine learning algorithms to direct robotic devices to rapidly synthesize and characterize materials. The algorithms automatically refine the experiments based on analysis of the characterization results.A research team led by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has built and successfully demonstrated an automated experimentation platform to optimize the fabrication of advanced materials.
