In the second video of the Engineering Big Ideas series, Mouser and Imahara take viewers along to Milan, Italy, for a visit to Arduino ® , one of the world’s leading open-source hardware and software ecosystems. Imahara sits down with Arduino co-founder and CTO Massimo Banzi to examine the prototyping tools designers and developers use to understand and articulate the capabilities and limits of an idea. The pair also explores how the open source movement contributes to broadening access to innovation. The Engineering Big Ideas series is sponsored by Mouser’s valued suppliers Analog Devices , Intel ® , Microchip Technology and Molex .
“We are excited about this second episode of Engineering Big Ideas. Prototype design is meant to create something completely new,” said Glenn Smith, President and CEO of Mouser Electronics. “Through open source hardware and software, companies like Arduino present significant opportunity to designers and developers by removing barriers and opening gates to innovation.”
“Open source is a perfect example of innovation through collaboration and shared access to knowledge,” added Imahara. “Rapid prototyping is a natural fit for this environment; ideas can come to life quickly and cost-effectively.”
Global electronic component distributor Mouser Electronics is teaming up with engineer Grant Imahara for the fifth consecutive year to present the Engineering Big Ideas series, which explores the process of turning an idea into a product and examines the path to commercialization — from discovery to design and eventually development.

Patsnap Launches AI Agents to Extract SAR Data and Identify Lead Compounds From Small Molecule Patents28.10.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Lead Compound Analyzer and SAR Extractor help scientists identify likely lead compounds and turn patent-disclosed chemistry into structured, source-referenced data for drug discovery. Patsnap today announced Lead Compound Analyzer and SAR Extractor, two AI agents in Patsnap Eureka Life Sciences that help drug discovery teams identify likely lead compounds and extract structure-activity data from small molecule patents. By reducing manual extraction, the agents help medicinal chemistry, competitive intelligence and computational teams assess competitor compounds, compare chemical series and inform further research. Learn more here. AI is giving drug discovery teams new ways to analyze compounds and guide molecular design, but those workflows depend on the experimental data available to them. Patents are often an early public source of new compounds, potency data and structure-activity relationships, yet that evidence remains difficult to reuse. Compound structures appear as images, acti
