Boise State University has developed a new method for manufacturing flexible hybrid circuits that is cheaper, reduces waste, ...

New recyclable electronics could be critical to curbing e-waste, scientists argue, especially because these circuit boards ...

The combination of microwave-induced pyrolysis and mechanical processing is a promising way to recycle the waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs). In pyrolysis, WPCBs yield an average of 78.6 wt.% solid ...

The inductor is made for cars. It sends power and data through a single cable, replaces multiple components and enhances ADAS ...

This paper presents an efficient technique to generate a scalable double-pi circuit model for spiral inductors. The double-pi equivalent circuit is widely used to build an inductor library because of ...

A lumped circuit model analysis for conical-shaped inductors is presented for the first time in the open literature. The model accurately describes the high performance of such inductors, which can be ...

Embedded with droplets of liquid metal, it conducts electricity like traditional rigid metals but with added flexibility. This unique blend allows the circuits to remain functional even when bent or ...

The new circuit board is not only recyclable but also reconfigurable and, amazingly, self-healing. According to the researchers, the board is also strong and durable, like traditional circuit boards.

The circuit boards are remarkably resilient and functional. Even under mechanical deformation or damage, they still work. Michael Bartlett, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech.
