Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

Coherent Evaluates Strategic Alternatives for Its Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Technology
December 13, 2024 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Coherent Corp., a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers, today announced that as a result of an ongoing strategic portfolio assessment, the company will evaluate strategic alternatives for its Streamlined Hydrometallurgical Advanced Recycling Process (SHARP™) technology to efficiently recover and recycle critical metals from lithium-ion batteries (LiBs).
With the increasing global demand for LiBs, driven by electric vehicles, energy storage systems, electronics, and other applications, the recycling of end-of-life LiBs is more critical than ever. SHARP™ technology addresses this challenge by enabling the production of cathode precursors and materials suitable for new LiB production directly from LiB waste. Unlike traditional hydrometallurgical processes, SHARP eliminates the need for extensive critical metal separation and purification steps.
The benefits of the SHARP technology include:
- High Recovery Rates: >97% recovery of critical metals (Ni, Co, and Li)
- Cost Efficiency vs. Common Processes: 55% lower CAPEX, 45% lower plant footprint, 60% lower reagents/utilities and 52% lower CO2 emissions
- Environmentally friendly: zero liquid discharge, no toxic solid/gas/liquid waste
SHARP has been successfully scaled up, and its products have undergone rigorous evaluation. Results demonstrate that the materials produced perform on par with pristine materials in battery applications, confirming their suitability for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Weaning the U.S. Military Off a Tablet Supply Chain That Leads to China
09/08/2025 | Jim Will, USPAETablet computers are essential to how our military fights, moves and sustains, but these devices are built on a fragile global supply chain with strong ties to China. Building domestic manufacturing to eliminate this vulnerability is feasible if we tap into the information and capabilities that already exist and create strong demand for tablets produced by trusted and assured sources.
