A contributor to these failures was the type of insulation used on the plane’s wiring, blamed by some as the root cause of the issue: the space-age polymer Kapton. No matter where we are ...

[Ahmad Tabbouch] has a method that uses Kapton tape to act as a temporary solder mask on diy boards. The process involves several steps. First, three strips are place horizontally across the board ...

A decade ago, pistol red dots were little more than a novelty for the average shooter. If you weren’t trying to achieve dominance at the Steel Challenge while shooting something like a tricked-out ...

Foam bonding tapes are designed for the adhesive joining of foam materials. They use adhesives that are formulate d for specific types of foams and substrates. Foam bonding tape is an important ...

Quantum dots – nanoparticles of semiconductors – were first theorized in the 1970s and then successfully synthesized in the early 1980s. When semiconductor particles are made small enough, they ...

While not a format seen in the mainstream now, the rarest VHS tapes fetch an impressive price. In the modern age of streaming, there is a community of collectors who keep the VHS video format ...

A new technique for growing quantum dots has not only found a new, more efficient way to build a useful type of quantum dot, but also opened up a whole group of novel chemical materials for future ...

It was shocking how supportive it was as a bra alternative. Despite how thin the tape was, it remained right where it was placed, lifting and covering as needed. The tester had to be a bit careful ...

If you’ve heard the expression “like water off a duck’s back,” you may be surprised to learn that some people believe the phrase to be the original inspiration for duct tape. This durable ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...

Another stares out from a flag hanging on their oak tree. A trio of dots sits on their stoop — pumpkins, painted in shades of cerulean. Then there are their homemade yard signs: a single blue ...

Quantum dots are among the more well-known nanocrystals, not only for their wide commercial uses but for the recent 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry given to the team that discovered them.
