===ResonantAcoustic mixer===
ResonantAcoustic mixing (RAM) is able to mix, coat, mill, and sieve materials without impellers or blades touching the materials, yet typically 10X<ref name="a501">{{cite journal | last=Leung | first=Dennis H. | last2=Lamberto | first2=David J. | last3=Liu | first3=Lina | last4=Kwong | first4=Elizabeth | last5=Nelson | first5=Todd | last6=Rhodes | first6=Timothy | last7=Bak | first7=Annette | title=A new and improved method for the preparation of drug nanosuspension formulations using acoustic mixing technology | journal=International Journal of Pharmaceutics | publisher=Elsevier BV | volume=473 | issue=1-2 | year=2014 | doi=10.1016/j.ijpharm.2014.05.003 | pages=10–19}}</ref>-100X<ref name="z599">{{cite journal | last=Park | first=Jeong Hwa | last2=Bae | first2=Kyung Taek | last3=Kim | first3=Kyeong Joon | last4=Joh | first4=Dong Woo | last5=Kim | first5=Doyeub | last6=Myung | first6=Jae-ha | last7=Lee | first7=Kang Taek | title=Ultra-fast fabrication of tape-cast anode supports for solid oxide fuel cells via resonant acoustic mixing technology | journal=Ceramics International | publisher=Elsevier BV | volume=45 | issue=9 | year=2019 | doi=10.1016/j.ceramint.2019.03.119 | pages=12154–12161}}</ref> faster than alternative technologies by generating a high level of energy (up to 100 g) through seeking and operating at the resonant condition of the mechanical system - at all times.

ResonantAcoustic mixers from lab scale to industrial production to continuous mixing are used for energetic materials like [[explosive]]s, [[propellant]]s, and [[pyrotechnic composition]]s, as well as [[pharmaceuticals]], [[powder metallurgy]], [[3D printing]], [[rechargeable battery]] materials, and [[battery recycling]].<ref name="g610">{{cite journal | last=Beckel | first=Eric | last2=Oyler | first2=Karl | last3=Mehta | first3=Neha | last4=Khatri | first4=Natasha | last5=Marin | first5=John | last6=Shah | first6=Akash | last7=Cordaro‐Gioia | first7=Emily | last8=Decker | first8=Robert | last9=Grau | first9=Henry | last10=Stec | first10=Daniel | title=Primary Explosive Processing in the Resonant Acoustic Mixer | journal=Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics | volume=46 | issue=5 | date=2021 | doi=10.1002/prep.202100008 | pages=697–704}}</ref><ref name="i584">{{cite journal | last=Smith | first=T.
