AI-Powered Objective Classification of Steel Materials

Posted on by Haptic

Rolling bearings are installed wherever something is in rotation. The wide range of applications extends from large wind turbines to small electric toothbrushes. These bearings, which consist of steel components, must be carefully selected and tested with regard to their quality and the application in question. The grain size has a crucial effect on the Read more about AI-Powered Objective Classification of Steel Materials[…]

Programmable materials are true shapeshifters

They can change their characteristics in a controlled and reversible way with the push of a button, independently adapting to fit new conditions. They can be used, for example, to make comfy chairs or mattresses that prevent bedsores. To produce these, the support is formed in such a way that the contact surface is large Read more about Programmable materials are true shapeshifters[…]
