One of the dreams of makers the world over is to be able to print electronic circuits on more or less any surface using a desktop printer. The great promise is the possibility of having RFID circuits ...

Researchers have invented a production method for oxidation-resistant copper alloy nanoparticles for printed electronics. These novel nanoparticles were produced by an environmentally friendly and ...

Makers and developers that would like an easy way to create their custom-made electronic circuit boards for testing and prototyping purposes, might be interested in a new desktop circuit board printer ...

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU; Singapore) have successfully printed complex electronic circuits using a common t-shirt printer. The technique brings down the cost of ...

The cost of 3D printing has come down dramatically to the point you can set up a small printer in your home. Those printers only spit out little plastic baubles, though. The cutting edge of 3D ...

Someday soon, your milk carton may be able to tell you that the milk has spoiled, or your bandage may indicate that it needs changing. These and other things could be made possible by a new technique ...

In designing and prototyping electronic circuit boards there is no quick or simple way to produce results. Many hours of design and development need to be expended on prototype layouts along with ...

At high frequencies (e.g. microwave) the physical dimensions of printed circuit board (PCB) traces become significant relative to the wavelength of the signal. At these frequencies, controlled ...

“Right now, DoD customers and federal [contractors] often wait 28 weeks or more for a prototype printed circuit board,” says Ramsdell. “They get a batch of 10, and only one or two might work. By the ...

Do-it-yourself electronics manufacturing may soon be possible with your desktop printer, say the designers of a new system that directly prints electronic circuits onto ordinary paper. Jing Liu, of ...
