There’s no debating that metallic sodium is exciting stuff, but getting your hands on some can be problematic, what with the need to ship it in a mineral oil bath to keep it from exploding. So why not make your own? No problem, just pass a few thousand amps of …read more

On the face of it, PCB production seems to pretty much have been reduced to practice. Hobbyists have been etching their own boards forever, and the custom PCB fabrication market is rich with vendors whose capabilities span the gamut from dead simple one-side through-hole boards to the finest pitch multilayer SMD boards imaginable.
So why on Earth would we need yet another way to make PCBs? Because as [Ben Krasnow] points out, the ability to turn almost any plastic surface into a PCB can be really handy, and is not necessarily something the fab houses handle right now. The video …read more

Government agencies looking to make better decisions from the data they collect have more resources within reach than they might suspect. But senior leaders need to take steps to identify the hidden data champions in their midst and encourage them to become catalysts in their organizations, according to a new report. “Data and analytics catalysts,” are those who have a “natural ability to drive change,” and are given the necessary foothold to help an organization understand the value of a “data-driven enterprise,” the report says. The report, released by Booz Allen Hamilton, suggests the most promising candidates are those who have instinctive leadership skills, have a flair for making sense of data, know how to engage stakeholders and are able to nurture talented individuals to join in their initiative. Agencies don’t need to create new positions or add staff, the report says, but focus instead on developing the talent and […]
