Fabrication of Novel Anti-Static Materials
Contact electrification is the generation of static charge on solid surfaces when surfaces come into contact. The accumulation of static charge on surfaces can produce electrical discharge, and result in hazardous situations, such as the explosion of flammable gases, dusts, and organic liquids. It can also make processes less efficient in many indu -

Personalized 3D Audio Hologram for Headphones
Methods of reproducing binaural (3-dimensional) audio have been established for years, but recreating a consistent and personalised experience for all listeners has been difficult and challenging. Most 3D audio today are based on a one-size-fits-all profile of an "average listener". But how an individual perceives binaural audio is largely influenc -
Through Substrate Via (TSV) with Embedded Capacitor for 3D Packaging
The demand for on-chip capacitor goes increasingly higher for integrated circuits (ICs) with 3D packaging technologies, because more capacitance-hungry chips are being stacked within a single IC package.
