New recyclable electronics could be critical to curbing e-waste, scientists argue, especially because these circuit boards ...

The demand for lightweight and high functionality devices is always a driving force in development of smaller, lighter and compact electronics circuit. Printed circuit board (PCB) is the most ...

As shown in Figure 2, interfaces operate through wire-to-board connectors mounted on the PCB. Harness-side plugs, with wires terminated using crimp contacts and secured in a connector housing, mate ...

The new circuit board is not only recyclable but also reconfigurable and, amazingly, self-healing. According to the researchers, the board is also strong and durable, like traditional circuit boards.

The circuit boards are remarkably resilient and functional. Even under mechanical deformation or damage, they still work. Michael Bartlett, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech.

A new class of circuit board material combines recyclable vitrimers with liquid metal droplets, enabling circuits that are electrically conductive, self-healing, reconfigurable, and durable. These ...

Local decoupling, i.e., placing decoupling capacitors sufficiently close to device power/ground pins in order to decrease the impedance of power bus at frequencies higher than the series resonant ...
