3D electronics is an emerging manufacturing approach that enables electronics to be integrated within or onto the surface of objects. While it has long been used for adding antennas and simple ...

Silver-based atomic switches that create stable electrical connections between individual molecules and electrodes have been ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a cutting-edge 3D printing technique known as tension-driven CHARM3D, which is able to print free-standing metallic ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Benjamin Tee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the NUS College of Design and Engineering used Field’s metal to show how CHARM3D can ...

Water is usually something you’d want to keep away from electronic circuits, but engineers in Germany have now developed a new concept for water-based switches that are much faster than current ...

Multi-material AM (MM-AM) combines the efficiency and flexibility of 3D printing with diverse material properties and complex geometries for enhanced functionalities. This technology allows for the ...

Although we do our best to shield our portable devices from physical harm by using protective cases, or employing rugged design techniques, there is another layer of protection that can be applied.

Electronics such as Bluetooth speakers can be 3D-printed from a material that dissolves in water within hours. That allows designers to rapidly create prototypes, enables easier recycling of the ...
