In this case it is done using sound interacting with metamaterials and the resulting detected pattern of sound interpreted with deep learning AI.
But what I am really interested in knowing is can a similar trick be pulled off using not sound but rather visible light so to enable an optical microscope to image details just one nanometer in length on a single enzyme molecule while it is in liquid water?
