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 […]

Researchers develop novel resin for 3D printing intraocular devices

Innovative resin for 3D printing intraocular lens (IOL) devices, developed by University of East Anglia researchers, could revolutionize cataract and refractive surgeries. This breakthrough enhances the production of eye implants, which are essential for people with cataracts whose natural lenses have clouded, affecting vision. Historically, IOLs have been made from a variety of materials, including […]

Organic semiconductors doped with air to increase conductivity in new study

Researchers have discovered that doping organic semiconductors with air can significantly enhance their electrical conductivity. This breakthrough could lead to more efficient organic electronic devices, such as flexible displays and sensors Semiconductors are the foundation of all modern electronics. Now, researchers at Linköping University have developed a new method where organic semiconductors can become more conductive […]
