3D-printed plastics with high performance electrical circuits

Engineers have embedded high performance electrical circuits inside 3D-printed plastics, which could lead to smaller and versatile drones and better-performing small satellites, biomedical implants and smart structures. They used pulses of high-energy light to fuse tiny silver wires, resulting in circuits that conduct 10 times more electricity than the state of the art, according to a new study.

Robotic touch sensors are not just skin deep

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself.
