In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Computer Aided Design (CAD) has evolved from electronic versions of hand‐drawn sketches into comprehensive, multidimensional modelling environments that underpin modern engineering and manufacturing.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a computer technique that "learns" how benign and malignant breast calcifications appear on digital mammograms so not only can it detect them, ...
