A programmable photonic circuit has been developed that can execute various quantum algorithms and is potentially highly scalable. This device could pave the way for large-scale quantum computers ...

A relative latecomer to The Hackaday Prize, [AltMarcxs] has nevertheless come up with a very interesting tool for fabrication, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. It’s a rotating laser ...

When you think about the difficulties of working with surface mount components, the first thing that often comes to mind is trying to solder those tiny little parts. Instead of soldering those parts ...

Product Briefing Outline: Reis Robotics has now implemented a newly developed laser soldering procedure for practical use with several customers. Photovoltaics manufacturers are increasingly anxious ...

Researchers from Empa and ETH Zurich have introduced a new technique for wound closure in a recent study published in the journal Small Methods. Utilizing a novel laser soldering approach, the team ...

A single solar cell produces a relatively low output -- it's a case of strength in numbers. Tiny strips of metal are used to link cells together. If the laser soldering temperature is too high, the ...

JUST as plumbers use solder to join metal pipes, scientists can now employ a similar technique called laser tissue soldering to repair wounds. For all the medical advances we have developed to heal ...

IF YOU CUT yourself, your options are to reach for a plaster or, if the cut is nasty, to go to a doctor to have it stitched or glued. That seems a rather limited choice. Medical researchers have been ...

Learn how PCB laser marking, engraving, and etching work for small electronics makers. CO2 vs fiber, FR4 safety, and ...

An international research team has defined the operational parameters needed to design and manufacture crystalline silicon PV modules for tropical climates. The group proposed a back-junction, ...
