Professor Tomoki Machida and Project Lecturer Satoru Masubuchi at the Institute of Industrial Science have developed an optical microscope equipped with an AI image recognition algorithm to accelerate the development of new atomic layered materials. The new system enables fully automated search for the target sheet-like atomic layer and reproduces in real time and with a probability of more than 90% the recognition process, which used to take a long time even for skilled users.
