Material manufacturers are releasing next-generation ultra-low-loss laminates with Df below 0.002 at 10 GHz, reshaping the competitive landscape for 5G base station and phased array antenna PCB fabrication.
The PCIe 6.0 specification pushes data rates to 64 GT/s with PAM4 encoding, imposing stringent new requirements on PCB materials, via design, trace geometry, and signal integrity that will reshape server and GPU interconnect board design.
SLP technology with line/space below 30/30 μm using modified semi-additive process (mSAP) is moving beyond smartphone main boards into automotive ADAS, IoT edge computing, and wearable medical devices — bridging the gap between traditional PCB and IC substrate.
The Global Electronics Association and RBA have released joint guidance to help electronics companies measure and report Scope 3.1 purchased goods emissions — a category where fewer than half of companies currently disclose data. Here's what PCB buyers and manufacturers need to know.
Escalating US tariffs on Chinese-manufactured PCBs and electronic components are reshaping global supply chains in Q2 2026. Engineers and procurement teams face tough decisions as reshoring gains momentum and the 'China Plus One' strategy becomes the new baseline.
AGC introduces fastRise low-loss prepreg for automotive radar applications, expanding North American sourcing options for high-frequency PCB materials.
Key takeaways from APEX EXPO 2026 — AI infrastructure is driving unprecedented demand for HDI and high-layer-count PCBs, while quantum computing and heterogeneous integration open new frontiers.
As IBM moves quantum computers from labs to real-world installations, the electronics supply chain faces novel demands for cryogenic-compatible PCBs and ultra-low-noise interconnects.
A new open-source tool called PCB Forge lets makers create functional PCBs using 3D printers and copper tape — no chemicals required. Here's what it means for prototyping.
Precious metals volatility — gold up 60%, silver 120%, copper 35% — is reshaping PCB manufacturing costs and forcing the industry to adapt procurement strategies.
