Whether you’re a book-learned engineer looking to finally get your hands on building circuits, or a maker, hobbyist, or student, these instructional videos get you started. The basic metallurgy of ...

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 to a PC board can be tricky: Too much heat can make the copper trace lift right off the board substrate. Use a soldering pencil rated at 15-25 watts, no more. (Watch the video; story ...

If you think polyimide-based flexible PCBs are cool, wait until you get a load of what polymerized liquid metal networks can do. Seems like [CNLohr] has some pretty cool friends, and he recently spent ...

A new type of self-healing and reconfigurable circuit board can withstand heavy damage and still work effectively, scientists say. It can even be completely recycled once it reaches the end of its ...

Scientists from the Virginia Institute of Technology in the United States have created new printed circuit boards with liquid metal, which are self-healing and work effectively even in severe damage.
