Most people’s relationship with technology is distant or obscured. The average consumer does not have direct control over their tech — it is usually closed off to them, a little box given to them that ...

Single-use electronic devices pose a challenge, as the heavy metals and other toxic materials in them shouldn't just be released into the environment, yet those substances are difficult to reclaim.

These days, it is hard to imagine electronics without printed circuit boards. They are literally in everything. While making PCBs at home used to be a chore, these days, you design on a computer, ...

Researchers have developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of ...

German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies announced it’s making printed circuit boards (PCBs) that dissolve in water. Sourced from UK startup Jiva Materials, the plant-based Soluboard could ...

For a lot of reasons, home etching of PCBs is somewhat of a dying art. The main reason is the rise of quick-turn PCB fabrication services, of course; when you can send your Gerbers off and receive ...

Effective printed-circuit-board cleaning requires special fluids, tools, and methods. Here are some of the most common to use and to avoid. How to effectively clean and dry printed circuit boards at ...
