Inexpensive Origami Electronics

Inexpensive Origami Electronics
Jul-16-18
Using origami, researchers have created foldable switches and sensors out of inexpensive materials.

Developed by a team at UC Berkeley, the paper electronics rely on molybdenum, an inexpensive conductive metal, which is added to gelatin and then used to coat the paper. Once the coating has dried, the circuit patterns are created by a laser that heats the molybdenum to form the conductors. The disposable electronics could turn off and on simply by being folded, and could be used in batteries or as sensors able to detect heavy metal contamination.
