THE AI ANGLE
Directing X-ray beamline scans through natural language

Researchers demonstrated an agentic AI platform that guides X-ray ptychography scans of microelectronics using natural language prompts. The system navigates samples, reconstructs images in real time, and triggers high-resolution scans of target areas. Engineers can direct beamline hardware without entering technical control commands or manually searching for microscopic features.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
A key question is how engineers should decide which machine actions are safe for autonomous AI execution and which require human sign-off.
