Mizzou Engineering secures Nanoscribe Quantum X Shape 3D printer
Purchased with nearly $1 million from a U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) grant, the Quantum X shape from Nanoscribe, a Bico company, uses a process called two-photon lithography to rapidly cure a liquid resin, making it ideal for rapid prototyping and wafer-scale processing of any 3D shape. It’s the fastest and most accurate 3D printer for high-end microfabrication tasks on the market. Mizzou Engineering is one of just a few U.S. organizations to have the printer in and one of fewer than 100 around the world.

Longtime AI researcher stays grounded as new bots turn field upside down
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems such as ChatGPT can provide a lot of convincing answers to user queries. What these models can’t do so well is explain how they derived their result and how confident they are in the output. And large language models (LLMs) aren’t the only machines making decisions that impact us. Professor Derek Anderson has been studying complex issues around AI for 20 years.

Using AI to Generate Holograms in Everyday Settings
Visualization of the optimized phase delays, the output of the model and the ideal output of holograms. Imagine being able to see a hologram of the person you’re talking to on your cell phone. Sound futuristic? Mizzou Engineers are finding ways to someday make that a reality. A research team is studying how artificial intelligence (AI) can help generate holograms in everyday settings. Marshall Lindsay, a PhD student in computer science, presented the work at an international conference hosted by SPIE, the Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers. Unlike traditional holograms, which are made by using laser beams to illuminate an object…

Machines Can Explain Decisions Through Images, Researchers Find
Machines have the ability to tell humans why they made a decision based on how they prioritize features of what they see. That’s the take-away from a paper Mizzou Engineers have had accepted to an international conference this summer.
