• Atomic Machines exits six years of stealth with $250 million and a compiler for matter (startupfortune.com) — An Albany-based startup, Atomic Machines, has emerged from six years in stealth with $250 million to commercialize its "Matter Compiler," a manufacturing system that prints tiny machines directly from digital designs. Its first product, an ultra-fast relay for AI data centers, is already shipping, positioning Albany as home to a potentially game-changing hardware platform.
