This pen uses a silver-based ink to draw electric circuits on a paper embedded with electronics. The pen and paper were designed by Japanese company AGIC to help engineers create cheap prototypes.

Scientists in the US have created a roller ball pen that can be used to draw functioning circuit boards. The research team at the University of Illinois used conductive silver ink to sketch ...

Conductive ink is a great tool for printing flexible electronic circuits on surfaces. But these inks can be costly, they do not work on some materials, and devices to apply them can plug up. Now ...

The ink used by Kawahara’s team is a silver suspension recently developed by Mitsubishi Chemical in Tokyo. Kawahara tried it out in an $80 inkjet printer and discovered that it worked well on ...

Conventional dip pens typically had to be reloaded with ink by the end of each sentence. The fountain pen was invented in 1880 by an insurance salesman named Louis Edson Waterman.

The past two decades have witnessed the evolution of advanced physical probe-based nanolithography techniques for molecular printing such as for instance Dip-Pen Nanolithography. Now, researchers have ...
