Digi-Key, the electronic component distributor, has decided to venture into schematic tools with Scheme-it, a free web-based schematic drawing and diagramming tool. Designed using HTML5 technology, ...

TinyCAD is a program for drawing circuit diagrams commonly known as schematic drawings. It supports standard and custom symbol libraries. It supports PCB layout programs with several netlist formats ...

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 ...

, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Want to string together some holiday lights? Or test an idea for a circuit? A new elastic silver ink could let users jot down electrical circuits and wiring on walls ...

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 ...
