TUCSON, Ariz. — A new family of organic polymers demonstrated at the University of Arizona can “paint” computer displays and photocell arrays onto most any surface, and could enable self-contained ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Silicon ink for printing electronic circuitry atop flexible foil substrates was unveiled today at the Printed Electronics conference (Nov. 12-15, 2007, San Francisco). Kovio, ...

Inkjet printers could be the chip factories of the future, squirting out circuits made from layers of organic semiconducting ink. Experiments at the University of Arizona, Tucson, have demonstrated ...

Intelligent packaging with sensors that monitor goods, such as vegetables, on long transport routes is a trend for the future. Yet printed and disposable electronics also cause problems: Metals in ...

Printed circuit board fabrication — especially in basements and garages — have been transformed by the computer revolution. Before that, people would use a permanent marker or little decals to layout ...

As 3D-printed electrical circuits become more widely produced, the problem of electronic waste could correspondingly get worse. That's why Swiss scientists have developed a new natural-source "e-ink" ...

Japanese startup Elephantech is pioneering an innovative manufacturing technology that could significantly reduce the environmental impact of producing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). If successful, ...

Wearable electronics are getting smaller, more comfortable and increasingly capable of interfacing with the human body. To achieve a truly seamless integration, electronics could someday be printed ...

Around 300 million people worldwide are visually impaired. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), involving deterioration of retinal photoreceptor cells, are the leading ...

More precise, faster, cheaper: Researchers all over the world have been working for years on producing electrical circuits using additive processes such as robotic 3-printing (so-called robocasting) – ...
