The innovative solutions that target impacts of AI in PCB manufacture and assembly
MacDermid Alpha offers a broad portfolio across circuit board assembly, board-level interconnects and thermal management, with a strong emphasis on process compatibility and reliability.
The dirty truth about clean manufacturing: Fluid power maintenance
Waste is minimized not by replacing entire assemblies, but by renewing high-wear internal elements.
New Chip Vac filter bag offers enhanced filtration and improved durability
This purpose-built filter material was specifically engineered for filtration applications and rated to filter particles as small as 30 microns.
How nuclear waste can fuel hydrogen production
While it may seem counterintuitive to value nuclear waste as a source of renewable fuel, this environmental liability may offer a promising resource for hydrogen production.
Engineered titanium composite offers reinforced-concrete performance minus the bulk
The team built the material using assorted metallic alloys bound by nanoscale precipitates, thus mimicking the structure of reinforced concrete.
Durable, gas-tight polymer film set to strengthen coatings in solar cells, infrastructure
The researchers developed an ultrathin polymer film that completely blocks nitrogen and other gases, showing potential as a protective coating for solar cells, infrastructure, and food or medicine packaging.
ROLEC announces its latest diecast enclosures for defense electronics

New electric method clears frost from cars, planes — No heat or chemicals required
The deicing method dubbed electrostatic defrosting (EDF) taps into ice’s inherent electrical properties for frost removal.
Vacuum pump overheating: Prevention, response and modern solutions
Excessive heat is not just an operational inconvenience, it can have a major impact on the pump’s service life, efficiency and performance, which ultimately affects productivity. This is why understanding the root causes of overheating is critical, as this enables operators to implement both preventative and mitigation measures.
Shape-memory alloys promises to help prevent damage to railroad tracks
During trials of ties warped by simulated rail traffic, the team found that they returned to their original state with SMAs activated by induction heating.
Indium Corporation is electrifying the future with advanced materials solutions at Productronica
The company will present its solder paste alloy and other advanced materials solutions for power device packaging and electronic assembly.
