Neural networks are computer learning algorithms that mimic the interconnected neurons of a living brain, managing astonishing feats of image classification [http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-deeper-into-neural.html] , speech recognition [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxxRAHVtafI], or music generation [https://highnoongmt.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/deep-learning-for-assisting-the-process-of-music-composition-part-1/] by

Looks like a slanted surface of Martian desert cliffs, but this is actually an extreme closeup of a human hair. Nanoresearchers who try to describe their research often up comparing their devices to the size of a human hair - for good reason. At about 100 micrometers thick, a human

These are microscopic balls of tin, imaged under scanning electron microscope (SEM) at 2500x (about 25x more magnification than the strongest optical microscope can manage). These very cool-looking tin samples are good for looking at when you’re trying to calibrate the SEM to produce the best images possible -
