How Does the Thermal Evaporation Deposition Method Work?
Thermal Evaporation Deposition is widely used in physical vapour deposition processes because it is a versatile and controllable technique. It offers high deposition rates, which makes it ideal for lift-off applications, and can be used with a variety of source materials. While it does have some drawbacks – such as low utilisation efficiency with high melting point materials – thermal…

Inverse Functions: We’re Teaching It All Wrong!
Math concepts are quite tricky and demand the perfect blend of clarification and practice. One of such tough concepts is an inverse function. However, the inverse function calculator intends to offer swift and accurate outcomes to students. It is one of the valuable Algebra concepts. Let us study it more to determine what wrong teaching has been made about it.…

Quantum Physics and You
It’s one of the most confusing branches of science out there because part of the theories that come out of it suggests that there might not be a branch there at all. Quantum Physics emerged from discoveries in the early twentieth century that all the conclusions made in the previous century about a stable, sensible scientific explanation for all the…

Here Is Why Engineers Should Always Consider Human Induced Vibration
Human induced vibration, vibrations that happen due to human footfall, often conjure images of Millennium Bridge-style swaying or buildings crumbling away. However, the reality is that the ‘damage’ caused by these vibrations is unlikely to destroy a structure, but it is likely to cause discomfort in people! Though not as dramatic as a structural failure, any engineer that is good…

Manufacturing and engineering education options
In 2014, the engineering and manufacturing sector provided an estimated £455.6 billion to the UK Gross Domestic Product, making up 27% of the total. It is one of the biggest economic sectors in Britain, with a job total of 5.7 million (19% of employment in the UK). But for the sector to continue to grow, it needs to build a…

Are apprentices the solution to the harrowing STEM skill gap?
Times are uncertain for businesses in STEM as a lack workers with the correct skills are available, reportedly costing the UK economy around £1.5 billion per annum. But could improving and developing STEM apprenticeships be the solution? No matter where you are in the UK, apprenticeships are becoming more popular than ever before. But perhaps due to their focus on…
