The lingua franca of electronic design is the schematic. I can pick up a datasheet written in Chinese (a language I do not read or speak) and usually get a half-decent idea of what the part is all ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Two professors from the University of Illinois; one specializing in materials science, the other in electrical engineering, have combined their talents to take the idea of printing ...

Professors Jennifer Lewis and Jennifer Bernhard at the University of Illinois have come up with a way to draw circuits with a pen. Not circuit diagrams. Any old pen can do that. No, the pen is a ...

From the processors in phones to the motherboards of computers, silver tracings of electronic circuitry underlie many common devices. But scientists are now putting circuit design in the hands of the ...

This week we have featured a number of new inventions in the form of the Liquid Metal Inkjet Printer Ink and the Ex1 PCB 3D Circuit Board Printer that have been designed to print liquid metal on to ...

Now a team of researchers from the United States Naval Research Laboratory and the Georgia Institute of Technology have devised a high-tech version of the glue gun to help lay down the ever-shrinking ...

With Circuit Lab, you can graphically draw circuits on your mobile device and have them analyzed. Based on the modified node analysis method, this app is an electronic circuit analysis tool that ...

Conductive ink is a great tool for printing flexible electronic circuits on surfaces. But these inks can be costly, they do not work on some materials, and devices to apply them can plug up. Now, ...

What if electronic circuits could be created simply by drawing lines with a pencil on paper or leaves—and then immediately applied to soft robots or skin-attached health monitoring devices? Korean ...

At the International Electron Devices Meeting in Washington, D.C., this week, IBM researchers will present a paper showing how they have developed polymer molecules that can assemble themselves into ...
