Abstract: This review analyzes the state-of-the-art in metamodel-based simulation and optimization of microelectronics package substrate warpage. The work gives an overview on the general procedure, ...

Moss has been shown to survive one of the harshest environments imaginable: the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS). Researchers sent three different types of moss structures to the ...

Abstract: Advanced semiconductor packages have evolved through multilayering and the increased use of dielectric materials, leading to mechanical issues that affect package yield and reliability. This ...

"This study demonstrates the astonishing resilience of life that originated on Earth." This little plant is a lot tougher than it looks. Researchers exposed moss spores to the harsh environment of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. While it may appear humble, Earth’s moss is built darn tough. It ...

For nine months in 2022, moss lived in space. It wasn’t in a lab aboard the International Space Station, like other gardening experiments conducted in orbit — rather, the moss was attached to the ...

Mosses thrive in the most extreme environments on Earth, from the peaks of the Himalayas to the sands of Death Valley, the Antarctic tundra to the lava fields of active volcanoes. Inspired by moss's ...

Moss spores have survived a prolonged trip to space, scientists reveal. The spores spent nine months on the outside of the International Space Station (ISS) before returning to our planet, and over 80 ...

A reddish-brown sporophyte can be seen at the top center of a leafy gametophore. This capsule contains numerous spores inside. Mature sporophytes like these were individually collected and used as ...
