VVDN Technologies, one of the largest ODMs in India, plans to invest up to $200 million to develop inhouse printed circuit board fabrication capacity.

Scientists combined two existing wireless technologies — high-speed electronics and millimeter wave photonics — for the first time to achieve record-breaking wireless data transmission speeds: 938 Gbps, which is 10,000 times faster than 5G.

Stretchable transistors used in wearable devices are enabling in-sensor edge computing.

MIT researchers produced 3D-printed, semiconductor-free logic gates, which perform computations in active electronic devices. As they don't require semiconductor materials, they represent a step toward 3D printing an entire active electronic device.

AE is leveraging A*STAR's expertise to program an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven printed circuit board.

Even in the best designs, noise and interference sneak in to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), obscure desired signals, and impair measurement accuracy and repeatability. Digitizing instruments like oscilloscopes and digitizers incorporate many features to characterize, measure, and reduce the effects of noise on measurements.

Göpel launches Multi Line series of assembly inspection systems.

Through 2027, generative AI (GenAI) will spawn new roles in software engineering and operations, requiring 80% of the engineering workforce to upskill, according to Gartner.

India is expected to limit imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers after January, two government sources with direct knowledge of the matter said, a move to push companies such as Apple to increase domestic manufacturing.

Taiwanese AI server supply chain firms are preparing for an anticipated surge in demand from major cloud service providers, according to Mike Yang, senior vice president of Quanta and president of Quanta Cloud Technology.

Samsung Electronics has postponed taking deliveries of ASML chipmaking equipment for its upcoming factory in Texas as it has yet to win any major customers for the project, three people familiar with the matter said.

The relocation of production chains changes its coordinates, seeking to approach the largest consumer market -- North America -- with Mexico at the epicenter.

Adrian Leal of Teltonika EMS discusses manufacturing best practices on the latest Reliability Matters podcast.

Weaker consumer demand has persisted through Q3, leaving AI servers as the primary driver of memory demand. This dynamic, combined with HBM production displacing conventional DRAM capacity, has led suppliers to maintain a firm stance on contract price hikes.
