(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 ...

, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Big Blue 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. Michael Kanellos is ...

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 ...

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, ...
