(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

, and not much else. But if you replace that metallic ink with real silver, you get something quite remarkable: a pen that can draw functioning circuits on paper. Engineers at the University of ...

Forget printing circuits: how about drawing ’em instead? At least, that’s what you can do with this rollerball, which spews out conductive silver ink to let you doodle circuits all day long. The ...

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 ...

A new silver-inked pen has been developed by engineers at the University of Illinois which allows you to literally draw electrical circuits and interconnects on to paper, wood, and other materials.

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, ...
