As we head further into 2025, we see the aerospace and defence industries undergoing a time of rapid evolution. The future of military and aerospace technology is being shaped by cutting-edge ideas that seemed like science fiction only a few years ago. Whether you're an industry veteran or just keeping an eye on emerging technologies in aerospace, it's clear that innovation is redefining what’s possible. Let’s explore five of the most exciting new innovations making headlines this year.
As the electronics industry evolves, so does our responsibility to reduce its environmental impact. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are at the heart of virtually all electronic devices, but traditional manufacturing methods can be wasteful and resource-intensive. Thankfully, the shift towards sustainable practices is gaining traction, and green PCB production is fast becoming the new standard. In this post, we’ll explore best practices and renewable solutions that can make a real difference in the PCB production process—from materials to end-of-life recycling.
