Generative Design is new design method that uses AI to produce optimum forms for products autonomously
Manufacturing today benefits from three waves of innovation: new production techniques (like 3-D printing), new design methods (like generative design, also driven by A.I.) and new materials, said Marco Annunziata , Co-Founder of Annunziata. These three waves of innovation are interdependent and mutually reinforcing: 3-D printing allows us to …

Ultra-thin membrane Flexible Lasers could be used as wearable CBRN sensors, Chip spectroscopy to data-communication
Organic semiconductors enable the fabrication of a range of lightweight and mechanically flexible optoelectronic devices. Organic LEDs, solar cells, and field-effect transistors are now routinely made in bendable or even stretchable formats and with extremely low specific weights. Most organic semiconductor lasers, however, have remained rigid and relatively bulky …
