For the length of human history, technology has played an important role in preventing theft. Before car keys, Henry Ford had to chain his car to a lamppost to avoid anyone with the strength to turn a physical crank from stealing it.

Printed batteries offer thinness and flexibility, enabling new applications, but their production is deceivingly complex. Gunter Hübner from Stuttgart Media University offered some insights at the e-Swiss conference last week.
Experimenting in the world of Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) comes with a variety of hurdles. Printing technologies are vastly different in terms of materials compatibility and have pros and cons that make them suitable for particular applications. Choosing materials that match the printing technology you intend to use is the most important decision you’re going to make.
But what if one could print, digitally, using any paste and ink on any substrate? Read more
Semiconductors are the building blocks of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. This in-depth guide provides a comprehensive understanding of semiconductors' engineering principles and applications, delving into their fundamental concepts, materials, devices, manufacturing processes, and their impact on today's technology landscape.
A guide covering the full radio-frequency design workflow, starting from setting specifications and choosing topologies to matching, simulation, layout, and verification, to help antenna engineers.
Controlled impedance is the control of PCB trace impedance within specified tolerances. This article covers microstrip and stripline designs, IPC-2141A formulas, stackup selection, impedance tolerances, routing practices, and TDR testing for signal integrity.
A PCB design can be electrically correct, pass every design rule check and perform exactly as expected on an engineer's screen - and still cause significant problems when it reaches manufacturing.
A semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity falls between that of a conductor and an insulator and can be controlled by temperature, light, and impurities. This article covers semiconductor materials, doping, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.

Researchers have designed smart, colour-controllable white light devices from quantum dots, tiny semiconductors just a few billionths of a metre in size, which are more efficient and have better colour saturation than standard LEDs, and can dynamically reproduce daylight conditions in a single light
The pace of change in consumer electronics has always been fast which poses its own challenges for manufacturers. Here we take a look at 7 trends that will shape the future of product development and manufacturing in the industry…
Integrated circuit (IC) package types encompass a range of protective enclosures designed to shield semiconductor components from physical damage and corrosion. This article explores the various classifications of IC packages, each tailored to specific requirements and applications.
Chips and wafers are the integral components of a semiconductor device. Find out the differences between chip wafers and chips and understand their role in semiconductor manufacturing.
Solder flux has a large impact on final product quality. This article reviews how to use flux during soldering and how to decide on the right technology options for your project.
Sometimes manufacturers would like to install heating in objects that are difficult to heat. The armrest of your car. Your sporty winter coat. Bags for food delivery. Sleeping bags. etc
This has been difficult to achieve until now. Read more about printed heater technology
