Wearable devices are all the rage right now, from FitBit products and the Apple Watch to the ever-evolving and highly anticipated Google Glass. But the idea and creation of wearable electronics occurred long before the cell phone or even the desktop computer. Brewer Science creates materials used in the sensors and MEMS devices that enable…

While that 16-bit marvel is now a relic in the computing world, that little event in Tokyo has become one of the biggest semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain events in the world. And this year, SEMICON Japan is celebrating its…
Click Here to Read MoreThanksgiving arrives a little early for all of us in the semiconductor industry. On November 16th, we cruise over to Santa Clara, California, to participate in the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Show, along with the most brilliant minds in printed electronics. Printed electronics provide a glimpse of a more connected future, one where electronic components are…

That’s the Jacques Thibaud String Trio, an award-winning group Brewer Science helps bring back each year to stage both public and private concerts. Those events are among the perks offered to…
Click Here to Read MoreIt’s the old nature-versus-nurture argument: Is the ability to be an entrepreneur something you’re born with, or something you instill in yourself? Good news for introverts and late bloomers: Research shows the most important skills can be acquired over time. A look at successful entrepreneurs throughout history, in fact, depicts a wide range of ages,…
Click Here to Read MoreSince 1983, Inventors’ Day has been used as an excuse for classrooms across the nation to stage fun experiments. This year’s Inventors’ Day, set for Feb. 11, will likely be no exception. Established by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, the annual event honors all inventors and entrepreneurs across the world. But it specifically commemorates the…
Click Here to Read MoreFor most of the relatively brief history of modern computing, progress has been measured in shrinking by nanometers. By making transistors smaller and smaller, engineers have been able to pack more transistors on smaller chips. More transistors per chip mean faster, more powerful computers that can fit into smaller devices. These microprocessors have made possible…
Click Here to Read MoreWhen scouting out locations for commercializing his new product idea, a young Terry Brewer wanted a place where he could cultivate a well-rounded, highly creative workforce. It’s fortunate for the microelectronics world that rural Missouri turned out to be a perfect fit. Rolla-based Brewer Science, Inc. (BSI) is now a global leader in helping create…
Click Here to Read MoreSemiconductors created from silicon make the magic of modern electronics possible by creating a platform for the complex processes that allow engineers to fabricate a staggering number of transistors on microchips. Advances in microprocessor technology have largely relied on the ability to make smaller and smaller transistors. Directed self-assembly (DSA) is a chemistry-based patterning process…
