Q: Tell us about recent task updates.
A: The Task Problem Statement was updated on 9/30/24. The only change from the first version was to increase flexibility in bench-scale demonstration parameters (such as how to transfer the item prototype from one chamber to another.)

Watch these FAQs weekly for updates, which will surely happen, since we are trying to accommodate all teams' bench-scale plans. We do not want the chamber design or transfer method to constrain your creativity!

The way to succeed is to double your failure rate.
