A new method of ‘sliding’ delicate high-performance electronics onto flexible surfaces could enable future developments in electronics, scientists say. Engineers from the University of Glasgow claim they have found a way to solve one of the key problems of contact printing – a method of planting electronics onto bendable plastic surfaces to create flexible electronic circuits and devices. The ability to reliably reproduce the same device at high volumes is key to developing an electronic produ...
