    This isn't new. There was a university in the UK doing this about 15 years ago. They were trying to get industrial backing for it, but I don't think they ever managed to. One of their guys came for an interview at my group (different university). #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @LittleJon: "Poo poo, I have heard about this before. This isn't news! They have been working on this for YEARS now!"

    Uh, okay... gravy for you! Feel better now that you vented?

    @Zomb: It's not an opinion. It is just someone once again complaining about the articles. "This isn't new. I've seen this before. Why are you posting this? This isn't news. etc. etc." I just want to know the point of it all. #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @ZaxxonQ.com: Ha, ha! Yes, it might sound like that, but it doesn't make it any less true.

    I can tell you that I've sat through several papers on the earlier work at IMAPS conferences (International Microelectronics and Packaging Society) and I felt it was fair to give credit to that team.

    Actually, I just remembered it was Brunel University and a quick Google comes up with this link from the Wikipedia page on printed electronics: [www.dea.brunel.ac.uk]

    As a professional electronics engineer with a Ph.D. I suspect I'm rather better qualified than you to discuss this. While my comment might not have been of interest to low-brows like yourself, I was addressing it to educated people with a sense of curiosity. #xeroxprintablecircuits

    They're using silver ink? Doesn't sound very cost effective. #xeroxprintablecircuits

    Fantastic! The will lead the way for even more inexpensive electronics in the future. I suppose the only limits will be the resolution of the printer and finding a way to attach chips, powers supplies, resistors etc... #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @Bertone77: I used to burn circuit boards in high school using copper boards, magic markers, and acid, this seems much simpler, way easier to fix any mistakes, all you'd have to do is fix the design in whatever program you used to design the circuit, rather than re-draw an entire circuit and re-burn the board, the installation of the chips and other components wouldn't be any harder than with the copper board, perhaps even easier depending on the material your printing on, and as far as resolution goes, the machine i'm running is 600 dpi for scanning, 2400 x 2400 dpi print resolution #xeroxprintablecircuits

    @Bertone77: Yeah, the resolution's a big issue in any burgeoning printing project. Finding an appropriate solute/solvent system is a bitch, considering how things like polarity, solute particle size, and viscosity all strongly affect printing resolution and drying time. #xeroxprintablecircuits
