Deep learning technology boosts the speed of localization photoacoustic imaging

After a lightning strike, thunder can be heard for a short period of time afterward. This is due to the fact that the surrounding material that was struck by lightning absorbs the light, and as a result of the conversion of this light into heat, the material expands and produces a sound.
