Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a metallic glue that may soon make soldering and welding obsolete. The team led by Hanchen Huang, pro­fessor and chair in the Depart­ment of ...

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 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 ...

Researchers developed a new metallic glue that can bond two metal pieces at room temperature without the need for soldering or welding. Initial test of the "MesoGlue" showed the resulting bond is as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Put away that hot iron, and stow the solder: you can now forge a connection between two bits of metal at room temperature. Soldering is a mainstay of the microelectronics industry, which uses hot ...

Anyone who’s spent significant amounts of time salvaging old electronics has probably wished there were a way to take apart a circuit board without desoldering it. [Zeyu Yan] et al seem to have had ...

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 ...
