Copper (Cu) redistribution layer (RDL) technology is used to interconnect chips in various high current Wafer Level Packaging (WLP) applications. Typically, Cu RDLs with thicknesses of 5-9 µm and ...

Physicists have ruled out a mundane explanation for the strange findings of an old Soviet experiment, leaving open the possibility that the results point to a new fundamental particle. Deep in the ...

A single bout of physical activity could fill the bloodstream with cancer-busting allies. In an experiment involving 32 breast cancer survivors, a 45-minute session of either resistance training or ...

Current experiments are focused on tomatoes, lettuce and other small-scale crops, with hopes to extend to high-calorie crops like grains and sweet potatoes in the future. Gratian Veres/500px/Getty ...

For the first time, physicists at CERN have coaxed an antiproton — a mirror twin of the matter that makes up our world — into behaving like a quantum bit, or qubit. The antiproton held its quantum ...
