Scientists in South Korea have developed a breakthrough electronic ink that creates circuits switching between rigid and soft forms.
The key to this innovation is a special gallium-based ink that can change stiffness with temperature, paving the way for flexible electronics.
By controlling ink's chemistry using a solvent called DMSO, the research team created stable ink for printing high-resolution circuits that conduct electricity well.
Applications of this technology include smarter wearable health monitors, safer brain implants, and more responsive robots, revolutionizing electronic design for personal use, medicine, and robotics.
