Rather than simply shutting down idle circuits, Savidis’ technique repurposes them to do useful work powering lower voltage components. This allows new processing capabilities to be added at low cost.

The team realized these particles were capable of absorbing UV light in the 380-420nm range with high efficiency. So, the printing process involves blasting the ink with 395nm UV light, which ...

Researchers from Osaka University and JOANNEUM RESEARCH created flexible integrated circuits precisely tuned by illuminating an organic polymer with ultraviolet light. This work may allow for ...

Researchers from the U.K.’s University of Nottingham have invented a breakthrough approach to 3D printing functional electronic circuits.

Home > Extreme Working Electronic Circuits 3D-Printed With UV Light The circuits are based on a conductive metallic ink along with an insulating polymeric ink printed in a single process.

If the idea of paper-and-ink as a circuit sounds rather undependable, the UI researchers bent the drawn-on paper 6,000 times before the ink began to crack.

A new elastic silver ink could let users jot down electrical circuits and wiring on walls and paper with a regular ballpoint pen (ACS Nano, 2015, DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.5b05082).

In an interview with IEEE Spectrum, the developers mentioned that other circuit elements similar to transistors and light sensors should be possible. The circuits aren’t perfect, however.

Not circuit diagrams. Any old pen can do that. No, the pen is a rollerball with silver ink that can actually draw real, working circuits. The ink dries to leave silver trails […] ...

Light Wave Measurements Make Circuits Better Date: March 15, 2004 Source: National Institute Of Standards And Technology (NIST) Summary: New measurements of key wavelengths of ultraviolet light ...
