A team of researchers at Yale University has developed a new kind of magnetic, lead free solder that could be used to manufacture electronics more cheaply and efficiently.
Published in MIT Technology Review, March 5, 2010
The lead-free material may make it easier and cheaper to make "stacked" chips with more computing power.
A new type of solder can be melted and shaped in three dimensions under the force of a weak magnetic field.
New Haven, Conn. — Yale University scientists have developed a magnetic solder that can be manipulated in three dimensions and selectively heated, and offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to today’s lead-based solders.
A team led by Yale University scientists has developed a new approach to studying how immune cells chase down bacteria in our bodies.
A team of researchers has fabricated a micron-scale device that deforms significantly under the force of light, a technology that could form the basis for tiny light-actuated switches or filters in future optical devices.
In recent years several groups have engineered novel structures on scales so
Using silicon nanowires one-millionth the diameter of a human hair, Yale University researchers expect to develop a revolutionary array of novel, hand-held sensors that can diagnose diseases, do blood work, find cancer cells, and identify other proteins in minutes by a patient’s bedside.
