Monash researchers develop AI tool to speed up microplastics detection - Australian Manufacturing

Monash University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program designed to accelerate the identification and analysis of microplastics, a growing environmental concern.  The program employs machine learning algorithms to analyse thousands of samples in mere seconds, a process that traditionally takes months for human researchers.  By utilising data from fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the AI program identifi…
