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 ...

Looking for a unique way to add a nice metal inlay to finish off your project? [Ben Krasnow] shows us how using a CNC router, a bit of solder, and a lot of sand paper! It’s actually a pretty simple ...

Mini LED chips can measure as small as 50μm × 100μm, with pad spacing as narrow as 5-50μm, demanding extreme precision in solder paste printing. Through technological innovation, Fitech enables its ...

Times and methods are changing rapidly in the world of chip packaging. The biggest of course is the adoption – legally mandated or soon to be in many parts of the world – of lead-free electronics. But ...

Usually, if you want to join two metal objects together, you either weld or solder them – depending on how big they are. Both processes involve the application of heat, however. This can damage the ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

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 ...
