2025 Holiday Gift Guide for Engineers: Tech, Tools, and Gadgets
Sometimes akin to receiving a root canal, holiday gift giving is not for the faint of heart. Most times, the recipient is left disappointed. Other times, the present will serve as a bone of contention. It makes matters 10 times worse if the receiver has an engineering background. You already know why.

Manufacturing the World's Tiniest Light-Emitting Diodes
Miniaturization ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s are largely due to the fact that ever smaller structures can be manufactured on silicon chips. Chemical engineers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in reducing the size of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) — which are currently primarily used in premium mobile phones and TV screens — by several orders of magnitude. Their study was recently published in the journal Nature Photonics.
