The annular microreactor uses a unique, high-velocity gas and liquid flow to synthesize nanoparticles. It forces liquids into a thin film with high shear force, providing exceptional mixing and control over nanoparticle properties. By controlling nanoscale phenomena of hydrodynamic assembly, this reactor enables users to precisely manipulate particle size and shape just by flowrate control. This approach also prevents clogging, allowing for continuous and scalable production, unlike costly and inconsistent batch methods.

This core technology is a key component of the Accelerated Materials platform for faster materials discovery and process scaleability. The Annular Microreactor is a key component of AM’s K-series reactors.

AM’s adaptive machine learning (ML) platform is a specialized optimization system that surpasses general ML libraries by intelligently selecting and fine-tuning models for advanced materials synthesis. Instead of a single model, it uses a diverse toolkit, including probabilistic Bayesian models, neural networks, decision trees and more, to explore promising parameter combinations efficiently. AM’s Adaptive Machine Learning is made available through AMLearn.
