We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...

The study of lifetime distribution and reliability testing seeks to characterise the statistical behaviour of time-to-failure data for components and systems across a range of applications, from ...

Environmentally friendly is a term rapidly invading the electronics industry. The electronic industry will be facing great challenges over the next few years as the solder used in electronic products ...

As technology shrinks, Yield and Reliability (YAR) are major challenges of SoC (System on Chip) production. There are many techniques available for increasing YAR. YAR of devices depend on testing ...

proteanTecs and ELES have partnered together to enhance reliability testing with deep data analytics. This collaboration enables SoC manufacturers to improve their qualification envelope to achieve ...

Engineers have long used thermal-cycle testing determine the reliability of PWBs (printed wire boards). Traditionally, engineers have used thermal-cycling ovens, liquid to liquid and fluidized sand, ...

Times are changing fast. Take the automotive industry for example. Software has evolved far beyond infotainment, now controlling everything in the car, including braking and steering for the driver.

Although genetic methods of species identification, especially DNA barcoding, are strongly debated, tests of these methods have been restricted to a few empirical cases for pragmatic reasons. Here we ...

Photosensitive polymer films are commonly utilized as a dielectric layer in microelectronics packaging. The performance of the organic film is determined by the adhesion quality between the polymer ...

Fielding operationally suitable systems is a prime objective of defense acquisition. A suitable weapon system is one that is available for combat when needed, is reliable enough to accomplish its ...

Cell and gene therapies require novel quality control methods due to their complex, variable nature and limited shelf life, challenging traditional pharmaceutical testing approaches. Manufacturers ...
