Visiting a chrome plating shop conjures up images of giant buffing wheels, bubbling vats and parts dangling from wires, and while all of those things contribute to the overall process they are just ...

The solar industry has dragged its heels on the issue of silver-dependence for cell metallization, but China’s Jiangsu Xianghuan Technology (JXTC) is moving into commercial production with a copper ...

Sydney-based SunDrive Solar has achieved a copper plating production yield of more than 99% at its commercial pilot facility in Australia, turning the cells into modules. It has developed a cell ...

Copper-plated ceramic addresses the interconnection requirements of many of the latest electronics systems. The key features stem from the combination of the insulator, the conductor and the ...

Electroplating is a great way to add strength or shine to a 3D print. However, we don’t see too many people trying it with gold. [HEN3DRIK] isn’t afraid to experiment, though, and pulled off some ...
