Reliability: Passable or perfection?
IPC
Passable isn't good enough for applications that require high-reliability. Perfection is the only thing that will do. IPC continues to push the electronics industry to adopt necessary standards to achieve high-reliability, as well as quality.

Merely survive or dominate?
IPC
The business world is often compared to a jungle. In the wild, there is survival and death. Surviving means doing the bare minimum to get by, accepting the mantra of "good enough" as long as you make it through the night. But why let yourself be anything less than the best? Why not push yourself to evolve?

The application of advanced ultrasonics in metal plating processes
PCB007
Most surface modification chemical treatments by their very nature contain hazardous and oxidising chemicals; there is a major concern that these chemicals are used maliciously with the intent to manufacture explosives or formulate poisons to harm the public. Cyanide-based plating solutions and high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide used in current techniques are a significant use of these materials in industry.
EPTAC Corporation
The age old issue of gold plating removal gets a fresh new look in the latest revision “F” of J-STD-001 "Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies”. It’s time to review the changes to this standard and the future requirements for electronic assemblies.
New Oregon approach for 'nanohoops' could energize future devices
EIN007
When Ramesh Jasti began making tiny organic circular structures using carbon atoms, the idea was to improve carbon nanotubes being developed for use in electronics or optical devices. He quickly realized, however, that his technique might also roll solo.
Study advances possibility of mind-controlled devices
R&D Magazine
A study published in the journal Nature Medicine has shown a possible path to creating effective neural prosthetics.
The study’s subjects, only listed as T6 and T7, have Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis. The scientists performed surgery on them one year ago to place a “neural recording device” in the part of the brain in charge of controlling hand function, notes Bloomberg.
Electronics that better mimic natural light promise more vivid, healthy illumination
Phys.org
Despite technological leaps in modern electronics, the quality of lighting they provide still leaves much room for improvement. A collaborative team — led by Jian Li, an associate professor of materials science and engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University — aims to change that.
The team hopes to produce devices for lighting that will mimic natural light more precisely than previous technology, enabling users to see things more vividly and in healthier lighted environments, Li said.
