Researchers have developed a way to print electronic circuits on a wide array of materials using an ink jet printer, opening the door to magazines and clothing printed with a working circuit.
The key element in the technology is a liquid metal alloy made of gallium and indium. The metal is liquid at room temperature, and so can be sent through an ink jet printer and delivered to the intended material as a fine spray of liquid metal droplets. The droplets oxidize as they are sprayed from the printer, and this metal oxide forms layers that allows the circuits to adhere to the material.
