Four demonstrators planned The EU project Hypelignum has ambitious goals: It aims not only to study printed circuit boards made from renewable and compostable raw materials, but also to develop ...

Damaged circuit boards, such those with cracks or warping, can in some cases be repaired. If they aren't repaired, they can be separated from their electronic components.

New recyclable electronics could be critical to curbing e-waste, scientists argue, especially because these circuit boards can be repaired or reconfigured by simply applying heat.

Diode makes software to design printed circuit boards, which are used in most electronics. The startup raised $11.4 million in Series A funding led by A16z. Diode aims to work with robotics ...
