Eteros Technologies USA, Inc., a global leader in cannabis harvesting equipment, recently acquired Bloom Automation, creating the first agricultural technology (Ag-tech) company focused on the post-harvest cannabis market. Founded in Canada in 2016, Eteros Technologies is now the premier manufacturer of cannabis automation equipment globally. As the parent company of the Triminator and Mobius brands, Eteros seeks to provide post-harvest processing solutions for all levels of cannabis production. The acquisition of Bloom strengthens Eteros' ability to deliver on that goal by bringing computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to cannabis producers. Although Ag-tech has been one of the fastest-growing sectors in conventional farming and is expected to top 15.3 billion in 2025, Ag-tech in cannabis is still in its infancy.

In a study published in the Science Advances, a group of researchers explained that they were able to quickly design and manufacture long-lasting metallic glass using artificial intelligence. If you mix two or more metals, you will create a new material different from the properties of these two metals. In ordinary alloys, atoms are arranged in a regular order. When we obtain a different sequence from this regular sequence of atoms, we obtain a new and strong alloy called metallic glass.
