In the past 20 years, cube satellites have played an important role in the field of aerospace technology exploration and research. Operation of CubeSats in orbit requires an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS). The Magnetorquer integrated into the PCB is one of the accurate and efficient ADCS, which is most suitable for providing torque
Imagine building a city’s subway system blindfolded. That’s what designing a modern printed circuit board (PCB) often feels like—threading microscopic pathways for electricity while juggling heat, signal interference, and space constraints. Now, artificial intelligence is lifting that blindfold. As DeepSeek’s AI solutions penetrate the PCB industry, they’re not just tweaking spreadsheets or automating simple tasks—they’re
