Thermoplastics can be heated and cooled multiple times with minimal change to their properties. Therefore, threaded inserts can be installed into thermoplastic 3D-printed assemblies using heat ...

The new approach relies on a layered form of manganese oxide—a mineral material with the right size layers to allow ions to ...

Once a printed circuit board (PCB) has been assembled it’s rather hard to look inside of it, which can be problematic when you have e.g. a multilayer PCB of an (old) system that you really would like ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have used a 1 µm copper plating layer on the front silver grid of a TOPCon solar cell to create a protective barrier that reportedly reduces corrosion ...

To set up the automated distress function and the digital selective calling features on a VHF radio, you must acquire and enter an MMSI number, and the radio must be connected to or have an integrated ...

Selective laser etching is a promising candidate for the mass production of glass interposers. It comprises two steps: local modification by an ultrashort-pulsed laser and chemical etching of the ...

Abstract: As a core procedure in an increasingly automated industrial environment, defect detection is important for producing microarmatures. However, there are still some difficulties in using ...

Improving nozzle wettability will permit more challenging joints to be tackled. Selective soldering utilizes a nozzle to apply solder to components on the underside of printed circuit boards (PCBs).
