Adding zinc ions to lithium niobate crystals cuts the energy needed for polarization switching by 69%, enabling visible-light programming of memristors for brain-inspired computing.

Automated storage and retrieval systems offer efficiency, and AI and robotic shuttles are expanding their capabilities.

The most practical model is hybrid, not fully autonomous. In an AI-assisted WMS, traditional rules define zones, constraints, and safety boundaries, while AI dynamically selects the optimal bin within ...
