Given the low costs and extensive applications that could be possible with flexible paper circuit boards, we've seen many ideas for their production, from printing with silver ink to embedding chips ...

Why spend time etching circuit boards and applying solder masks when all you really need is a rollerball pen and some paper? That’s what University of Illinois professors [Jennifer Lewis and Jennifer ...

As STEM learning becomes more mainstream from elementary to high school, more products that are STEM-specific are hitting the market. One such product started off on Kickstarter, and after being ...

BU postdoctoral fellows Keith Pardee (left) and Alexander Green have created a “paper gene circuit,” which may provide a quick, cheap way to perform sophisticated lab work in the field. Photo courtesy ...

Most of us can do simple math in our heads, but some people just can’t seem to add two numbers between 0 and 3 without using paper, like [Aliaksei Zholner] does with his fluidic adder circuit built ...

What if electronic circuits could be created simply by drawing lines with a pencil on paper or leaves—and then immediately applied to soft robots or skin-attached health monitoring devices? Korean ...

Given the pollution crisis caused by the constant replacing of digital devices like smartphones with the latest and greatest releases, researchers have been seeking suitable recyclable or ...

Newswise — What if the next generation of disposable electronics — the sensors in your food packaging, the diagnostic strips in a medical clinic, the environmental monitors scattered across a farm — ...

Researchers have created highly conductive and durable silver nanowire ink that can be used to print durable electronic circuits on paper. The technology is being touted by the researchers at the ...
