At Automate 2026, held June 22–25 at McCormick Place in Chicago, the Control.com engineering team met with Cincoze, a leader in the field of industrial computing. We wanted to get a firsthand look at the company's latest edge computing and industrial automation solutions.

At All About Circuits and EEPower, we weren’t only talking about using AI during 2025; we were also talking, a LOT, about the foundational technologies that make AI possible. Like the Borg, AI was assimilating every electron, every dollar, and everyone’s attention to feed the insatiable beast. That is why we are choosing the tech that enables AI as our top trend of 2025.

The All About Circuits editorial team is taking a moment to look back at our favorite content from 2025. From the technical marvels behind the AI revolution to first-hand accounts of semiconductor history, we’ve curated a list of our favorite deep dives, interviews, and hands-on projects. In each section below, our editorial team members share their favorite content from the past year and insights on why it was interesting to them. We enjoyed these and think you will, too.
