SLAC to Build ‘Self-Driving’ Lab with DOE Funding to Tame X-Ray Data Overload
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has received U.S. Department of Energy funding to develop SPIRE, a "self-driving" laboratory platform. This initiative will leverage artificial intelligence to automate experiments, addressing the critical bottleneck of processing vast amounts of data generated by SLAC's X-ray laser.
