Loss Function Evaluation

2025

Accurate tracing of grain boundaries in microscopy images is vital in material science, yet current models need more data and a more accurate loss function. In this report, we present a twofold contribution to improving grain-tracing U-nets.

Interpreting Earth’s Inner Core Structure via Ultrasonic Scattering Experiments

2025

An experimental study of the scattering of ultrasonic compressional waves in an hcp Zn-Sn alloy, serving as an analog to the Fe alloy in Earth’s inner core to better understand the origin of inner core seismic attenuation.

Recommended citation: Ming Gong, Michael I. Bergman, An experimental ultrasonic method to determine a scattering quality factor, with application to earth's inner core, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2025, 107456, ISSN 0031-9201, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pepi.2025.107456.
