Spray Tips: Fluidized-bed systems

Other commonly used gravity-based powder-feeding systems for feedstock delivery are fluidized-bed systems, where the powder feedstock is suspended by an upward flow of gas, creating a fluid-like state that allows for consistent and controlled delivery of the powder to the process.

AI chips could get a sense of time

Researchers have developed the first memristor with a tunable ‘relaxation time,’ potentially enabling artificial neural networks to process time-dependent data more efficiently. The study was led by the University of Michigan. Memristors, electrical components that store information in their electrical resistance, could reduce AI’s energy needs by about a factor of 90 compared to today’s graphical […]
