Railways are more energy-efficient than other modes of passenger transportation, with CO₂ emissions per ton-kilometer roughly one-seventh those of passenger cars. The difference is more pronounced over long distances, and high-speed railway networks contribute substantially to energy savings in transport infrastructure.

PCB Panelization is a PCB manufacturing technique. It involves the grouping of several small printed circuit boards to form a single array, which is known as a panel. Panelization is commonly employed in PCB manufacturing because it saves time and cost. This article discusses the conditions, design considerations, methods, types, and benefits of PCB panelization.
A quick electric pulse completely flips the material’s electronic properties, opening a route to ultrafast, brain-inspired, superconducting electronics.
Lead-free solders offer an environment-friendly alternative to toxic lead-based solders, which were dominant in the PCB manufacturing industry till the mid-2000s.
Controlled impedance in printed circuit boards involves the regulation of resistance exerted by signal traces. It is determined by characteristic factors of PCB fabrication, such as trace width and copper thickness. This article discusses controlled impedance and the essentials of its execution in PCB manufacturing.
