Ever found yourself tangled in a mess of wires and components, struggling to create a clear and intuitive wiring diagram? If so, you’re not alone. Many electronics enthusiasts face this challenge, ...

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 ...

Scientists in the US have created a roller ball pen that can be used to draw functioning circuit boards. The research team at the University of Illinois used conductive silver ink to sketch electrical ...

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 ...

New method uses soft sheets made of silicone rubber that have many tiny droplets of liquid metal embedded inside them Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic ...

If you fondly remember drawing circuit diagrams at school, this lamp will make you smile: Its designers created it to mimic the line-drawn circuit plans that make it work. The lamp—called Node—was ...

Soft electronic circuits could be used to develop new wearable or implantable devices. Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic circuits and radio antennas by ...

IBM is tinkering with a new material that could drastically slash the costs of "drawing" circuits on semiconductors, and the stuff is a close relative to tennis shoe glue. At the International ...
