Electronic repair workers may be exposed to lead, mercury, cadmium and other elements including rare earth elements used in electronic equipment. In this study, repair work took place in small repair shops where, e.g., televisions, radios, video players, compact discs and computers were repaired. Personal full-shift…

Various work-related issues including mental health have been described for the electronic industry. Although East Asian countries play important roles in the electronics industry, the association between job demands and emotional symptoms has been rarely examined. The present study recruited 603 workers from either…

Insight into the health risk awareness levels of e-waste workers is important as it may offer opportunities for better e-waste recycling management strategies to reduce the health effects of informal e-waste recycling. Therefore, this study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practices associated with occupational…

Electrocutaneous stimulation can be employed to alert workers in potentially hazardous situations. To determine the feasibility of a novel textile electrode cuff in comparison to previously used TENS electrodes, two studies were conducted. In a study on n = 30 participants, perception, attention, muscle twitch, and…

'Julie Shah'] Common narratives about automation often pit new technologies against workers. The introduction of advanced machine tools, industrial robots, and AI have all been met with concern that technological progress will mean fewer jobs. However, workers themselves offer a more optimistic, nuanced perspective.…

We enable microelectronic devices to interrogate biology’s molecular communication, perform computations, and in real time control biological systems, including at several hierarchical levels: proteins, cells, and cell consortia. A key driver is establishing electronic access to and from biology’s native redox…

With the distinctive advantages of high transconductance, low operating voltage, mixed ionic-electronic conductivities, and dynamic versatility, organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) has emerged as a promising wearable technology capable of measuring various biophysical and biochemical signals. Despite the…

Here, we propose and provide in silico proof of concept of a spinristor; a new molecular electronic component that combines a spin-filter, a rectifier, and a switch, in a single molecule for in-memory processing. It builds on the idea of an open-shell transition metal ion enclosed within an elliptical fullerene…
