, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The demand for ever faster, cheaper electronics is pushing the lithography-based manufacturing techniques standard in the semiconductor industry to their limits. Now researchers report a cheap, fast ...

There’s a few open source options out there for creating electrical schematics. KiCad and Fritzing are two that will take you from schematic capture to PCB layout. However, there’s been limited ...

Ever since cloud-based services like Salesforce and Google Docs began replacing their well-entrenched desktop counterparts, there has been much speculation as to when EDA software might also make the ...

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 ...

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 ...
