If you’ve never used a solder paste dispenser, you’re missing out. Think about always using a crappy soldering iron, and then for the first time using a high-end one. Suddenly you’re actually not bad ...

If you’ve ever soldered or welded, you’ll know that things get pretty hot. MesoGlue intends to fix that. It’s a room-temperature metallic glue that lets you stick parts together with reckless abandon ...

When doing surface-mount assembly you can certainly use a soldering iron in the traditional way, but it’s far more convenient to cover the pads with solder paste, place the components, and bake the ...

A new type of metallic glue can bond two pieces of metal together at room temperature. Initial testing shows that the solidified glue is thermally and electrically conductive, and the bond is about as ...

MesoGlue is a form of metallic adhesive created for the purpose of allowing engineers / designers to forego the hot / arduous task of soldering components to a circuit board. The glue can be stored at ...

Emil Otto is aiming at joining steel, stainless steel, brass and copper objects below 450°C with three tin-based soft-soldering pastes. “The soldering and tinning pastes do not require zinc chloride, ...

Usually, if you want to join two metal objects together, you either weld or solder them – depending on how big they are. Both processes involve the application of heat, however. This can damage the ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a metallic glue that may soon make soldering and welding obsolete. The team led by Hanchen Huang, pro­fessor and chair in the Depart­ment of ...

A new collaboration between electrical and chemical engineers at Newcastle University in England has ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a new method for welding and soldering that does not require heat. The glue-like compound called MesoGlue bonds metals together at room ...
