Flexible PCBs have become increasingly common in both commercial devices and DIY projects, but Panasonic’s new stretchable, clear substrate for electrical circuits called Beyolex takes things a step ...

Designers are familiar with rigid print circuit boards (PCBs) typified by the classic FR4 substrate as well as more advanced substrates which are compatible with multi-gigahertz applications. It’s ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...
