In a wide array of consumer, IT, and industrial electronic devices, Murata’s MLCCs are utilized as a pivotal component that serves the purpose of temporarily storing and discharging electricity, dampening noise in signals, extracting signals at specific frequencies, as well as blocking direct current while permitting the flow of alternating current. With its compact packaging, 2.5V rated, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and impedance, and X6S/X5R temperature classes, the new GRM188 is ideal for decoupling and smoothing circuits in demanding computer and network environments.

Within server and data centers, there is a continuous push to increase miniaturization and increase efficiency, while reducing material consumption. As performance and integration are advanced, the need for components to occupy less space and withstand higher temperatures becomes crucial. The impetus behind these industry advancements is further propelled by the demand for enhanced AI capabilities.

Leveraging Murata’s thin layer forming technology and a high-precision lamination process to meet the needs of the industry, the new GRM188 provides a wide operating temperature range and is the first 100μF MLCC capacitor available in 0603 packaging. It enables designers to further push system miniaturization by decreasing the number of capacitors used, allowing for a simultaneous reduction in circuit substrate area.

“The GRM188 represents yet another world-first achievement for Murata’s MLCC lineup, surpassing previous limitations and aligning perfectly with market demands,” said Hidetoshi Nakagawa, General Manager of Ceramic Capacitor Marketing at Murata. “In addition, this miniaturization not only improves the design of end applications and reduces the number of materials needed, but it also decreases electricity consumption during manufacturing, providing a dual benefit for sustainability.”

The 2.5V rated GRM188C80E107M products with a -55°C to 105°C temperature range and the 2.5V rated GRM188R60E107M products with a -55°C to 85°C temperature range are already in production with samples available for evaluation. Also, the new GRM188 with a rated voltage of 4.0V at -55°C to 85°C goes into mass production in 2025. Please contact us for details: contact form

FDA Issues Modified Risk Tobacco Product Orders for 20 ZYN Nicotine Pouch Products30.6.2026 18:19:00 CEST | Press release

FDA’s decision makes ZYN the first nicotine pouch product to receive MRTP orders authorizing reduced-risk claims versus cigarettes Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) orders for 20 variants of ZYN nicotine pouch products. These are the first MRTP orders granted for nicotine pouches, allowing PMI U.S. to market the following claim for the authorized ZYN products: “Using ZYN instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.” “FDA’s decision is an important moment for the more than 45 million legal-age nicotine consumers in America,” saidStacey Kennedy, PMI U.S. CEO. “Today’s news ensures these adultshave access to accurate, science-based information, including FDA-authorized evidence that switching from cigarettes to ZYN reduces the risk of smoking-related diseases like heart disease

Together, the organizations strengthen their ability to support complex, cross-border

Archer® Proves Purpose-Built AI Beats General-Purpose LLMs on Regulatory Change Management: 95% Verified Accuracy, 80x Faster, 92% Lower Cost30.6.2026 16:13:00 CEST | Press release

In a head-to-head benchmark, a leading general-purpose LLM was confidently wrong 35% of the time on regulatory dates. Archer Evolv™ shipped zero errors. For enterprises deploying AI in compliance, a wrong date is a missed deadline. The more dangerous failure is a wrong answer the model returns with high confidence, one that flows silently into a compliance calendar and is only discovered after the window has passed. Archer® today released results showing purpose-built AI beats a general-purpose large language model (LLM) on regulatory work, and it’s not close. This head-to-head test compared Archer’s purpose-built, vertical-specific AI and proprietary data sets against a leading general-purpose LLM, on a core compliance task: determining the publication, effective and comment-close dates of regulatory documents across six jurisdictions. General-purpose models are a genuine breakthrough, and this is no referendum on their quality. The question Archer set out to answer is narrower and mo
