By using a standard T-shirt printer to print complex electrical circuits, researchers at Nanyang Technological University have found a way to create cheap and disposable electronics that can be printed on demand.
The printing technique can be used on a variety of flexible materials, such as plastic, paper and foil, and the circuits are printed using organic, non-toxic (somewhat) materials. The circuits are printed complete with resistors, transistors and capacitors—which are vital to a complex circuit. According to the developers, the disposable circuits are not meant to compete with high-end processors like those in smartphones; rather, the team envisions them being used in disposable electronics, such as biological sensors or freshness monitors on food.
