Elneshy and Cairo University postdoctoral researcher Mohamed Kasem studied dozens of ancient Egyptian bone samples and some soil samples during a two-month visit made possible by a grant-supported program called LAAAMP.

Machine Learning Enhances Light-Beam Performance at the Advanced Light Source

Image - This image shows the profile of an electron beam at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source synchrotron, represented as pixels measured by a charged coupled device (CCD) sensor. When stabilized by a machine-learning algorithm, the beam has a horizontal size dimension of 49 microns root mean squared and vertical size dimension of 48 microns root mean squared. Some types of experiments require that the corresponding light beam be stable on time scales ranging from seconds to hours to ensure reliable data. (Credit: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
