Legendary electrical engineer and linear IC trailblazer Bob Widlar was just like you. What I mean is that he would use everything available to him to mock up circuits, create prototypes, and make ...

Concrete created by two University of Nebraska professors can be heated to melt snow and ice without chemicals or mechanical clearing. Acceptance has been slow since it was developed and successfully ...

Explosive demand curves are redefining the conductive silicone market as a mission-critical enabler for high-performance electronics, EV battery architectures, and next-gen telecom infrastructure.

Flexible circuit boards bend as you might expect from a playing card, while skin stretches more like knit fabric. The rules for making circuit boards and temporary tattoos therefore need to be ...

Concrete is pretty useful, which is why it’s the most widely used construction material in the world. But it could be argued that it doesn’t really do anything. Now, engineers have made concrete that ...

Producing functional fabrics that perform all the functions we want, while retaining the characteristics of fabric we’re accustomed to is no easy task. Two groups of researchers at Drexel University — ...

Thanks to advances in materials and electronics, we are starting to see how our clothing might one day do more than keep us warm or protect us from the elements. Scientists at Chalmers University of ...

London-based Bare Conductive makes paint that conducts electricity. It's called electric paint and it can be used on a variety of surfaces including paper, plastic, wood, cardboard, or glass. Electric ...

Researchers have developed a bioinspired conductive hydrogel called PEDOT:sGAGh that can simultaneously handle electrical signals and biochemical cues, letting scientists precisely control whether ...
