Researchers have developed an atom-diffraction imaging method with micrometer spatial resolution, which may allow new applications in material characterization.
6 January 2021 - Cirrus Initiative
Considerations behind the largest and most complex undertaking of its kind in Africa’s history.
In collaboration with academia, Cirrus is a private sector led initiative bringing together academia and industry for the establishment of a world class artificial intelligence (AI) research and application capability for Africa. Although launched in 2019, work on Cirrus started several years earlier which included laying the ground work for Wits University to host the Cirrus infrastructure.
History
Cirrus was conceived over a decade ago but work on the first formal proposal started in 2017. At the time, Dr Dean Barrett, who works at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), was seeking a way to apply machine learning to the vast amount of data they were producing.
