Electronic Specifier has released its April issue, packed with expert commentary, technical features, and industry insight across some of the most important topics in electronics today.
This month’s edition is a wide-ranging collection of content that reflects the breadth and complexity of the modern electronics industry. From high-level industry trends and policy developments to deeply technical engineering features, the April issue has something for every corner of the electronics community – whether you’re a design engineer, a business leader, or simply someone keeping a close eye on where the industry is headed.
On the innovation and investment front, the April issue looks at the UK’s significant bet on quantum computing, exploring what this means for the country’s position in the global technology race and the longer-term implications for the electronics sector. Alongside this, a STEM Spotlight feature examines the efforts underway to build the UK’s future electronics workforce, addressing the skills pipeline that will determine how well the industry is equipped to meet the demands of the decades ahead.
People and culture feature prominently this month. The Women in Tech section delivers a thoughtful and honest feature – Girls, Disrupted – which looks at access, equity, and disruption in the industry. It’s a conversation the electronics world continues to need, and Electronic Specifier is committed to keeping it at the forefront of its coverage.
The medical technology sector comes under the spotlight too, with a feature exploring how the industry can work to rebuild trust in healthcare technology at a time when the stakes – and the scrutiny – have never been higher. It’s a timely and nuanced look at the relationship between engineering, ethics, and public confidence.
Sustainability is another thread running through this month’s issue, appearing across two separate features. The first makes a compelling case for why sustainability has shifted from a desirable goal to an outright requirement for businesses operating in today’s regulatory and commercial environment. The second focuses on innovation in the electrification of mobile power delivery, showcasing the progress being made in cleaner, more efficient solutions.
For those with a focus on power electronics, the April issue also features a detailed look at EV battery immersion cooling – one of the most promising approaches to thermal management in electric vehicles – as well as an exploration of how the latest generation of connectors is becoming smaller, smarter, and greener. A sponsored feature on 24V DC UPS systems, made in Germany for critical infrastructure applications, completes the power section.
The issue rounds out with a technical feature on optimising MEMS IMU data coherence and timing in navigation systems, offering practical insight for engineers working in test and measurement.
