Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”

Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…Laser transformation hardening is an attractive heat treatment technology which can be used to enhance the surface properties of highly stressed components such as cams, gears, and bearings without altering its bulk properties. The highly intense laser beam rapidly heats up the irradiated surface above its austenitization temperature which cools down instantaneously (self-quenching) as the laser moves away from the spot producing a hardened surface. …”
