Is it safe?
AI is continuing to establish itself as a tool in science. If you want to use it, you should also be aware of the limitations of these methods: to what extent can the results of an algorithm be trusted?
The images taken with a scanning electron microscope show a high-tech composite material developed at the Jülich Institute of Plasma Physics: a fabric made of interwoven tungsten fibers in a tungsten matrix. The photos were taken by fusion and materials researcher Alexander Lau. He is analyzing and optimizing materials that could one day be used for the walls of nuclear fusion reactors. Image 1 won second prize of the "Participants Choice Award" at the Helmholtz Imaging Contest 2023.
