If you’ve ever tried to build a printed circuit board from home, you know how much of a pain it can be. There are buckets of acid to lug around, lots of waiting and frustration, and often times the ...

Remember yesterday, when one illustrious modder whipped up a head-mounted computer that featured a printed circuit board of his own design? The fabrication method he used was called direct-to-PCB ...

In future iterations, BotFactory believes it can 3D-print multi-layered surface-mounted circuit boards, like what’s inside your cell phone. That’s not going to be possible with the first generation of ...

In designing and prototyping electronic circuit boards there is no quick or simple way to produce results. Many hours of design and development need to be expended on prototype layouts along with ...

In the modern electronics industry, devices are becoming smaller, faster, and more sophisticated than ever before. To meet ...

Integrated circuits -- computer chips -- are truly wondrous, but they would be meaningless without their PCB skeleton, nervous system, and lifeblood. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on ...

While the field of printable electronics holds a great deal of promise, the printing of circuits onto curved surfaces is still very challenging. A new technique greatly simplifies the process of doing ...

A research team has developed a printing technique for forming electronic circuits and thin-film transistors (TFTs) with line width and line spacing both being 1 ?m. Using this technique, the research ...

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 ...

Flexible electronics of one kind or another have been around for more than 20 years. What most now call flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are branching out to rigid-flex designs as well as highly ...
