Assisting a school in Nepal after a disaster

Nepal is a small country (just slightly larger than the state of Arkansas) located between China and India in South Asia. On April 25th, 2015, the Gorkha earthquake struck the city of Kathmandu in central Nepal, killing 9,000 people and

Defect Detection and Characterization Metrology- The eyes on Zero Defects

Metrology is the science of measuring, characterizing, and analyzing materials. Within metrology, there are several technologies used to detect material defects on a very small scale – precision on the scale of parts per trillion or less is necessary in our pursuit of zero defects at Brewer Science. Our approach to characterizing materials has been rigorously refined to give us the ability to measure and define our materials in a way that continues to surpass…

Turn Your Camera On – A Key to Better Meetings

Like most companies, Brewer Science is encouraging employees to work remotely to alleviate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. A remote workforce leads to virtual meetings – something we have all become very familiar with, and in some cases, too comfortable with. Turning off the camera may allow you to stay in bed with pajamas on while simultaneously tuning into the newest episode of “How It’s Made” during your team planning meeting – a scary…

Printed Electronics Market Spurs Industry-Wide Opportunities

The growing use of actionable information in new ways to make better decisions is driving brisk growth in printed electronics (PE) and sensors. According to BCC Research, the global market for sensors should grow from $173.4 billion in 2019 to reach $323.3 billion by 2024 – a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. Where will this growth come from? Where are the immediate, and longer-term, opportunities for companies with the skills and expertise to…

Geothermal Power Offers Key Benefits for Sustainable Manufacturing

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. production and consumption of non-hydro renewable energy sources (i.e., biofuels, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind) set new records in the first half of 2018. Of these sources, geothermal, while still relatively nascent in its implementation, holds great promise. Integrating geothermal systems for heating and cooling into a high-volume manufacturing facility – e.g., those producing semiconductor devices and materials – can yield energy and cost savings, while maintaining…
