Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

[A_Steingrube] has posted a guide to his favorite method of copper electroplating. Plating copper onto other metals is popular with the steampunk crowd, but it does have other uses. Copper plate is ...

Electroless or chemical plating applies a consistent coating layer of nickel, copper, chromium or other metal to finished parts without relying on an external electrical source, by staging several ...

Hollow nanosized needles, or nanostraws, are a promising tool for opening up tiny, temporary holes in cell membranes to deliver molecules or sample a cell’s contents. Nanostraws could also deliver ...

Scientists have combined 3-D-printing with electroplating to easily produce high-quality metal electrodes that can be used as a molecular beam-splitter. Many measurement techniques, such as ...

Electroplating is a simple and low-cost process that produces a uniform and dense coating with good adhesion to the substrate. This method is also suitable for coating complex-shaped interconnects.

The units of electric conductivity are defined and the problems associated with conventional instruments are mentioned. The principle of operation of the electrodeless conductivity meter is explained ...

Tactile switches with advanced contact materials improve signal integrity, durability, and lifecycle performance in demanding ...

Kenji Hata (Prime Senior Researcher), the Nanotube Research Center (NTRC; Director: Sumio Iijima) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST; President: Ryoji ...

Many medical components do not need to be entirely machined or fabricated from precious metals to function as intended. Non precious metal (NPM) substrates such as nitinol or stainless steel, when ...
