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 is still an incredibly common and useful process for repairing electronics, but it could be about to get a little cooler. Quite literally, because researchers have developed a new way to ...

Looking for a unique way to add a nice metal inlay to finish off your project? [Ben Krasnow] shows us how using a CNC router, a bit of solder, and a lot of sand paper! It’s actually a pretty simple ...

Tammy Brasseaux entered the Hot Connections: Zen and the Art of Soldering class earlier this week terrified of the blue and red flame flaring from the torch used to heat and shape the metal. By ...

Scientists have developed liquid-metal particles that can be used for heat-free soldering and other applications. Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and ...

Usually, if you want to join two metal objects together, you either weld or solder them – depending on how big they are. Both processes involve the application of heat, however. This can damage the ...

Soldering is an important skill for anybody who wants to put together circuit boards, play around with Arduino setups, or work on almost any type of electrical project. When first beginning, however, ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...
