The need for high-speed connections has expanded from office environments to remote and sometimes outdoor implementations, including those for the military. In this article, ODU looks at the rugged high-speed data connector requirements to consider for such applications. [ + ]

The Internet of Things (IoT), big data and the rapid development of wireless networks are all having a significant impact on the test and measurement industry. This article provides insights on the key technologies and methodologies that are affecting the industry.

A new approach developed by MIT researchers could lead to a completely new way of making high-quality, fibre-based electronic devices. [ + ]

Elimination of solder from electronic circuit assembly has been suggested as one way to avoid solder's many shortcomings. In the article below, Joe Fjelstad* makes the case for solderless assembly.
