[Reduce PCB thermal design time — modeling using substitute layer analysis](
Mentor, a Siemens Business
Analytical PCB modeling calculations have been around for many years. Some companies have developed methods of capturing the copper geometry and calculating component temperatures. In order to reduce design time while improving accuracy, a process has been developed to empirically model the PCB and provide accurate temperature analysis of PCBs which will greatly benefit engineers responsible for thermal design.

[Challenging Charges](
High-precision measurements of charge have been based on large quantities of matter atoms. Antimatter, however, is extremely difficult to produce. How, then, can its charge be measured precisely to confirm the Standard Model of physics?

[The difference between THT and SMT](
“Traditionally, through hole technology (THT) was used to construct the vast majority of PCBs. Over recent years, however, the use of surface mounted technology (SMT) has grown in popularity and is increasingly used in place of through hole technology.” [Read this article in its entirety](.
