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 ...

An advance in composite materials might spell the beginning of the end for soldering irons, those age-old workhorse tools used in electronics manufacturing and do-it-yourself electrical repairs. A ...

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 ...

Surface mount components have been a game changer for the electronics hobbyist, but doing reflow soldering right requires some way to evenly heat the board. You might need to buy a commercial reflow ...

The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected to other electrical components to make a PCB ...

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 ...

BGA soldering is very reliable if done using the correct procedure, so we introduce GA Soldering on PCB board, BGA Inspection and BGA Rework. According to different packaging materials, BGA components ...

A fan to remove fumes is a handy thing to have when soldering, even better is a fan furnished with a filter. Better still is a fan that activates only when the iron is in use, turning off when the ...

The most frequently used technique for soldering electronic parts is hand soldering, specially when you are still creating your prototype boards. This is commonly performed with the use of a soldering ...

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 ...
