Mini LED chips can measure as small as 50μm × 100μm, with pad spacing as narrow as 5-50μm, demanding extreme precision in ...

AMES, Iowa – Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and technology to work in the world. His lab is dedicated to an idea called frugal innovation: “How do you do ...

The research group led by Prof. Seung Hwan Ko, in Dept. of Mechanical Engineering in Seoul National University developed a stretchable soldering sticker patch based on liquid metals that can be used ...

Many of us own soldering irons or soldering guns. In fact, I have two Weller soldering guns that have incandescent bulbs to illuminate the work area. But, these lights tend to shine on a wide area. My ...

Researchers at Iowa State University have produced novel micro-sized particles filled with liquid metal that retains its liquid state at room temperature and are able to meld with each other. The new ...

Soldering is still an incredibly common and useful process for repairing electronics, but it could be about to get a little cooler. Quite literally, because researchers have developed a new way to ...

Here’s a nice video from Steve Dahl of Digikey showing how you can use a heat gun to solder high-brightness LEDs to an aluminum substrate heat sink. In the demo he uses a Steinel programmable heat gun ...

Scientists have developed liquid-metal particles that can be used for heat-free soldering and other applications. Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and ...
