New Nano-Manufacturing Makes Steel 10 Times Stronger

The Seattle-based Startup has developed a process called Modumetal that can increase the strength of metals like steel ten times, and will make it more resistant to corrosion. The process is really inexpensive and if the modified metal can pass field testing, it will find it uses in many applications like building bridges and other infrastructure last longer, and making light weight and fuel efficient cars and plane.
The company has been in  collaboration with oil companies like Chevron, Conoco-Philips, and Hess. The parts has been tested in some oil fields. Hydrogen Sulphide, found in some Oil is very corrosive and damage production equipment, but with the help of this new technology those parts may last longer and thus will reduce the cost of oiling.
Modumetal is based on the fact of controlling the materials at a nanoscale that can change the properties of a materials. CEO Christina Lomasney has said that hte process costs same as that for a galvanization.
It is just a advanced form of electroplating. In this a bath is used that contain more than one type of metal ion and controls the way how ions are deposited by changing the electrical current. By changing the current at the precise moment, it creates a different layers,with each layers having thickness to certain nanometers of different composition, Thus these changes the properties of materials as final layers is certain centimeters thick.

AI in Soap Manufacturing Industry

Machine learning (ML) has numerous potential applications in the soap manufacturing industry, contributing to process optimization, quality control, resource management, and more. Here are some examples: 1. Quality Control : ML algorithms can be trained to analyze images of soap bars to detect defects such as cracks, air bubbles, or inconsistent coloring. By automating the inspection process, manufacturers can ensure that only high-quality products reach the market, reducing waste and enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. Predictive Maintenance : ML models can analyze sensor data from manufacturing equipment to predict when maintenance is needed. By detecting potential issues before they cause equipment failure, manufacturers can minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. 3. Supply Chain Optimization : ML algorithms can analyze historical data on raw material prices, demand forecasts, and production schedules to optimize inventory management and procurement decisions. This helps minimize...

Startup builds AI to automate accounting

Smacc , which uses AI to automate accounting, has secured a 3.5 million Series A round from Cherry Ventures, Rocket Internet, Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures, Grazia Equity and business angels. Smacc offers small and medium-sized enterprises a platform to digitize and automate accounting and financial processes. The founding trio Uli Erxleben, Janosch Novak and Stefan Korsch came up with the idea after find accounting to be the most painful part of their own startup. Erxleben managed Rocket Internet’s US ventures in New York and San Francisco, and is also the founder of Berliner Berg , a craft beer startup. Customers submit their receipts to Smacc, which are turned into a machine-readable format, encrypted, then allocated to an account. The platform gradually also self-learns, tracking invoices, sales and costs, as well as their liquidity. The system checks against some 64 data points, verifies the invoice, checking, for example, that the math adds up, and even if the VAT...

Goodbye, Oppurtunity. Nasa mars rover 'Opportunity' no longer resposding.

Opportunity, the intrepid NASA rover that spent 15 years on Mars climbing in and out of craters to gather evidence of the planet's watery past, has been brought down by tiny particles of dust. After weeks of trying to revive the veteran Mars rover in the wake of a blinding dust storm, NASA has given up on ever hearing from it again. It's a humble ending for a machine that survived a 300-million-mile journey through space, executed a hole-in-one landing, and set a record by driving more than 28 extraterrestrial miles. Opportunity's last transmission to Earth occurred on June 10 amid an epic Martian dust storm. Still, NASA engineers remained hopeful that when the dust settled, the rover would recharge its solar-powered batteries and resume its superlative mission. Opportunity landed on Mars in January 2004 for a mission that was supposed to last 90 Martian days. Its twin rover, Spirit, had landed three weeks earlier on the other side of the planet. "Wit...
