Check out George Toms's feature in the December digital on "A Novel Synthesis Approach for Simplifying : Optimizing interconnects, fanouts and signal structures before ." https://digital.pcea.net/issues/december-2025/toms/

"As ( ) grow denser, faster and more power-constrained, designers face mounting challenges maintaining signal integrity, power efficiency and manufacturability. Traditionally, most optimization occurs after schematic capture – during placement and routing – when it’s often too late to remove structural inefficiencies.

A new logic-level approach directly impacts board-level performance and complexity. By optimizing interconnects, fanouts and signal structures before schematic capture, a new gate-level synthesis technology enables to start with a cleaner, more efficient foundation."

Check out Kevin VanNattan's feature in the December digital on "5 Things That Will Haunt Your Plating Tanks and practical steps to exorcise the chemistry demons." https://digital.pcea.net/issues/december-2025/vannattan/

"Each fall brings ghosts, goblins and, if you’re not careful, a few monsters lurking right inside your plating tanks. They won’t knock on your door or ring a bell, but they will hide in your agitation systems, anodes and cables. If ignored, they can turn a good product into scrap before you even notice."

Materials Considerations for Automotive Radar Designs

Advanced safety systems require cars to react in response to external changes, leaving decisions to the vehicle, not the human occupants. An investigation of chemical process changes needed to improve radar module reliability, looking at radar designs, reliability requirements, and improvement options at the board and packaging levels.
