Being the Indium Corporation, we know what indium is, where it comes from, and how to use it. But sometimes we forget that not everyone is as immersed in indium as we are. So what is indium? Of

I recently noticed something that appeared in a 3rd party lab report that a customer shared with me. This lab report was an analysis of a NanoBond® the customer had performed and sent out to

Folks, In my last post we saw how you could measure density with only a scale. In this post, we will expand on that technique and learn how to measure metal content in gold/quartz ore. In principle,

I’m not a chemist, so the first time I heard that we sell gallium trichloride (GaCl3) I was wondering “what the heck is this stuff, and what is it used for?” Years later, I’m

A NanoBond® acts like a traditional solder bond in many ways. After reaction, the bulk properties of NanoFoil® are similar to that of many solders. To me, the property that is most attractive

Some B2B Marcom (and Product Management and Sales) people lament that their products are, shall we say, "dry" and not as sexy as B2C products. If you are falling into that rut, take a page

Folks, In the category of interesting requests, Ron, a gold worker, from Guyana, sent me the following note: Dr. Ron, My colleagues use a “wet” gold technique to measure gold alloy

Here’s an interesting read: “Banking on CPV projects: Dispelling myths on financial risk” By Bea Gonzalez on Dec 18, 2012 “There are three common myths that make it hard for

We have a very exciting monthly series of posts coming up for you, devoted to the science of Nanotechnology. I’ll be interviewing experts in various fields of Nanotechnology, and you can let us

I’m not the only one presenting new NanoFoil® data at this year’s SVC (Society of Vacuum Coaters) Conference.Another member of our teamwill be in attendance to teach you about some of

Folks, I was at APEX 2013 San Diego this past week. San Diego is a great venue for the show, but I always forget how cold it can be (55-65°F) this time of

I invite you to come to the Emerging Technology session of the SVC (Society of Vacuum Coaters) Conference on Wednesday April 24th – where I’ll be discussing interesting new ways to use

NanoFoil® can be packaged in tape & reel, bulk containers, or waffle

There are many sputtering target materials that are tricky to solder to. For those alloys we ‘bring out the big guns’ – in this case, our ultrasonic soldering

In order to NanoBond® parts that are made out of copper, nickel, or platinum, we must first apply solder to the bonding surface. This is most commonly done by melting solder directly onto the

Folks, Our discussion of Weibull Analysis continues…..Let’s say you have worked hard and assembled some SMT lead-free PCBs for thermal cycle testing. You used the best lead-free solder paste,

Aluminum is a very common material to bond to, although it is a little tricky to solder to with traditional methods. The method that we prefer for large area solder coating is fluxless, messy, and

The 2013 IPC APEX Expo , the premiere electronics assembly event, is right around the corner – and our technology experts are ready to share their experience and knowledgeon a variety of

NanoFoil® is a great localized heat source, but it can cause some ugly looking aesthetic defects if the process is not set up correctly. Let’s take a look at how you can use high temperature tape

There have been avariety of people who were key to the development of indium metal in general, and Indium Corporation in particular, over the years. People such as: Hieronymus Theodor Richter and
