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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
